The software of choice for creating contour maps! Powerful – Simple – Proven Sur   fer is  fer  is the most powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use contouring  fer easily  fer  and 3D surface mapping package available. Sur  easily and accurately transforms your data into spectacularly colorful con tour, surface, wireframe, shaded relief, image, post, and vector   fer  is affordable! maps in minutes! And best of all, Sur  Since 1984, over 100,000 scientists and engineers worldwide  fer's power and simplicity  fer's outstandhave discovered Sur  simplicity.. Sur   fer  the ing gridding and contouring capabilities have made Sur   the software of choice for working with irregularly spaced XYZ  fer  users have included hydrologists, data. Over the years, Sur  engineers, geologists, archeologists, oceanographers, biologists, foresters, geophysicists, medical researchers, climatologists, and more! Anyone wanting to visualize their data with  fer's powerful striking clarity and accuracy will benefit from Sur   features!

Options for creating informative maps are endless! The smallest details  f er’s er’s extensive are easy to apply and modify with Sur  customization abilities!

Superior Gridding!

Surface maps display your data as rendered 3D  surfaces. Overlay surface maps with other surface maps to generate informative block diagrams.

Sur   fer  provides more gridding methods and more control over gridding parameters than any other software package on the market. Sur    fer will quick quickly ly interpol interpolate ate irregularly irregularly or  regularly spaced data into a useful, functional  fer's default settings or choose map. Use Sur   from twelve different gridding methods. Each gridding method provides complete control over an abundant number of gridding parameters to generate the most accurate map possible to best represent your data. Creating high-precision maps has never been so easy!

Sur   fer includes  fer  includes an integrated data analysis tool for   variogram modeling. By applying the Kriging algorithm, the variogram model aids in selecting an appropriate gridding model.

Powerful Mapping! The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!  fer’s Customize your maps so they look their best! Each of  Sur   ten map types has a multitude of editing options to enhance its appearance. Change line colors and thicknesses, edit point shapes, sizes, and colors, or add gradient color fills and color  scale bars. Contour maps allow you to manipulate contour line intervals, thickness, color, and labeling. For shaded relief maps and 3D surface maps, quickly change the lighting angle for a realistic appearance. Create maps with multitudes of informa tion by including scale bars, legends, and labels. These are just  fer  offers to easily create the some of the endless options Sur  most colorful, descriptive, and understandable maps – ready for  publication!

Questions?

Numerous Grid Functions! In addition to creating surfaces, grid files allow you to perfor m a variety of functions. Just a few of the possibilities are calculating volume and area, subtracting or adding grid files, or  converting outliers to a minimum or maximum value. Grid   files also enable you to apply filters to emphasize details or  remove background variation, blank a grid file to prevent con  tours from being drawn through specific areas (buildings, roads, or outside of field areas), or create cross sections.

Sur  includes a full-featured worksheet for creating, opening, editing, and saving data files. Data files can be up to one billion rows and columns! You can cut, copy, and paste data within the Sur   fer  worksheet or between applications, and you can use Sur   fer’s   find or find/replace commands to search for and replace data. Sort your data on a specified column, transform data with equations, filter  data with specified r ules, and calculate statistics on your data! You You can also assign a projection to your data and reproject the coordinates to  f er  er  lets you get the right a new projection or coordinate system!

 Automation! Create your own scripts to automate repetitive r epetitive tasks! Don’t Don’t spend time doing the same process over and over again – write a simple script to simplify your life! Operations per  formed interactively can be controlled using an automa  tion-compatible programming language such as Visual  fer  includes Scripter, a built-in Basic, C++, or Perl. Sur    Visual Basic compatible programming environment that lets you write, edit, debug, and run scripts. Why do more  fer working  fer  work than you need when you have Sur  working for you!

 Versatility! Sur    fer inclu includes des extensive extensive customizat customization ion options options to allow complete control over all map types. Overlay or stack any  number of maps and display an unlimited number of maps per page. Scale, tilt, and rotate your maps for the best data presentation possible. Customize maps by adding text,  fer's Object symbols, polylines, and polygons. With Sur  Manager,, all of the objects on the page are logically organManager orga nized and are readily accessible for editing. No other mapping software makes maps as easy to create and edit and  fer ! as customizable as Sur 

Combining multiple surface and post maps is an excellent way to compare 3D surfaces and visualize data locations.
