 Surfer Features

Surfer is the most powerful, flexible and easy-to-use contouring and 3D surface mapping package available. Surfer easily and accurately transforms your XYZ data in to contour, wireframe, shaded relief, image, post, and vector maps in minutes!

Since 1984, over 100,000 scientists and engineers worldwide have discovered Surfer's power and simplicity. Surfer's outstanding gridding and contouring capabilities have made Surfer the software of choice for working with XYZ data.

Use a combination of map types to generate colorful displays of XYZ data. This example is a combination of a contour map, a shaded relief map, and a base map.

 Superior Gridding

Surfer provides more gridding methods and more control over gridding parameters than any other software package on the market. Surfer will quickly interpolate irregularly or regularly spaced data into a regularly spaced grid. Use Surfer's default settings or choose from nine different gridding methods to generate a grid file which best represents your data.

Easily add breaklines and faults to your grid

 Powerful Contouring

Customize your contour maps by manipulating contour line intervals, thickness, spacing, color, and labeling. Add gradient color fills, hachures, or a color scale bar for a map. You can even drape a contour map over a wireframe map to display multiple variables. Surfer allows you to easily create customized high-precision contour maps.

Individual contour labels can be dragged to a new location, new labels can be added, and individual labels can be deleted.
