Producing publication quality maps in Surfer has never been quicker, easier, and more satisfying.


Introduction
Surfer is a contouring and 3D surface mapping program that runs under Microsoft Windows. It quickly and easily converts your data into outstanding contour, surface, wireframe, vector, image, shaded relief, and post maps. Virtually all aspects of your maps can be customized to produce exactly the presentation you want. Producing publication quality maps has never been quicker or easier.



Contour Maps
Surfer contour maps give you full control over all map parameters. You can accept the Surfer intelligent defaults to automatically create a contour map, or double-click a map to easily customize map features.

Display contour maps over any contour range and contour interval, or specify only the contour levels you want to display on the map. And with Surfer you can add color fill between contours to produce dazzling displays of your maps, or produce gray scale fills for dramatic black and white printouts.

• Automatic or user-defined contour intervals and ranges
  
• Full control over contour label format, font, frequency, placement, and spacing
  
• Drag contour labels to place them exactly where you want them
  
• Automatic or user-defined color for contour lines
  
• Color fill between contours, either user-specified or as a custom color map of your choice
  
• Save and load custom color map files for the exact desired display
  
• Use one of the built-in presets as the color map
  
• Full control over hachures
  
• Save and load contour map level files that contain all the level information, so you can easily and quickly create contour maps with consistent properties
  
• Regulate smoothing of contour lines
  
• Blank contour lines in areas where you don't want to show any data
  
• Specify color for blanked regions, or make them transparent
  
• Add color scale
  
• Create any number of contour maps on a page
  
• Add base, vector, shaded relief, image, or post map layers to contour map layers
  
• Drape contour map layers over 3D surfaces or 3D wireframes for dramatic displays
  
• Export contours in 3D DXF and 3D SHP formats
  
• Adjust the layer opacity
  

3D Surface Maps
The 3D surface map uses shading and color to emphasize your data features. Change the lighting, display angle and tilt with a click of the mouse. Overlay several surface maps to generate informative block diagrams.


3D Surface Map Features

• Specify surface color gradation, shininess, base fill and line color
  
• Control mesh line frequency, color, style, surface offset
  
• Set lighting horizontal and vertical angles, ambient, diffuse, and specular properties
  
• Overlay contour maps, image maps, post maps, shaded relief maps, raster and vector base maps, and other surface maps for spectacular presentations
  
• Choose overlay resample method and resolution, color modulation (blending) of surface and overlays
  
• Save and load custom color map files for the exact desired display
  
• Use one of the built-in presets as the color map
  
• Add color scales to explain the data values corresponding to each color
  
• Disable the display of blanked grid nodes or map the blanked areas to a specific Z level
