No more complicated two-step export process. Save time! Exporting map and non-map objects just got a lot easier. Save in Surfer 12 or Surfer 11 SRF format! Share SRF files saved in Surfer 11 SRF format with other users still using Surfer 11. Surfer’s new integrated WMS browser efficiently locates and downloads high resolution images to use as base layers.īe compatible with your colleagues! If you have Surfer 12 and they have not upgraded yet, you can still share your project with them by saving it in Surfer 11 format so they can open it. Connect to online data sources, pick the layers of interest you want to download, and Surfer seamlessly downloads and imports the images into your projects.
Download image layers from hundreds of free online Web Map Services (WMS) through Surfer's new, integrated WMS browser. More information is now at your fingertips. Visualize the very low and very high values by gridding the log of the data and using a logarithmically scaled colormap. "This feature alone makes upgrading to version 12 a necessity.” - Steven Schamel, GeoX Consulting Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah It does show better definition in data sets that have wide ranging z values.” – David Holley, Geologist I have really found it useful in working with soil gas and production maps. “I have been using the new logarithmic scaling feature for several days now. This is extremely useful when your data file has extreme data ranges, such as concentration data where the Z values can span multiple orders of magnitude (i.e. Grid and Display Maps with Logarithmic Z ScaleĮffectively display Z data that range over several orders of magnitude! You can grid data taking the log of the Z value prior to gridding, choose to have logarithmically scaled contour levels, or have logarithmic scaling applied to the color scale. Use dates and times in a data file as a variable when gridding, and format the axis tick labels in one of many date and time formats! This means you can use dates and times as a data variable for gridding, for creating post maps, and you can format data in the worksheet or text labels in multiple date and time formats. Visualize your data with respect to time! Surfer 12 supports dates and times as valid data. Reverse an axis to show the data in descending orientation! This is especially useful for displaying depth, two-way time, or other data values on the that increase downwards (on the Y axis) or to the left (on the X axis). It’s blindingly fast and works for very large files with very complicated maps." – Shane Wilkes, Hydrogeologist
"This is a nice feature, especially for geo-scientists compiling contoured cross-sections of data. Reverse the direction of the X or Y axis with a simple click of a button! It is easy to show descending data, such as depth data, in the correct orientation without modifying your data. New Coordinate Systems, Datums and Ellipsoid.Add Buffer Around Convex Hull when Gridding.Change Contour Label Font/Format in Property Manager.Change the Watershed Basin Line Properties.Export Map and Drawn Objects in One Step.
This list is only a small sampling of the new features added to Surfer 12. We have compiled a list of some of the top new features in Surfer 12.
