Golden Software Surfer v9 9 785

Surfer is a full-function 3D surface modeling package. The sophisticated interpolation engine transforms your scattered XYZ data into publication-quality maps. Surfer excels at creating contour, vector, shaded relief, image, post, 3D wireframe and 3D surface maps. Multiple maps can be overlaid to quickly identify trends in your data. A powerful worksheet and extensive import capabilities make it easy to import your data. Additional utilities include volume calculations, smoothing, mosaicking, filtering, performing math calculations on or between surfaces, calculus calculations, and more. Surfer is used extensively for terrain modeling, landscape visualization, surface analysis, gridding, volumetrics, 2D map generation, and much, much more.

Contour Map Features

    * 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

    * 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
