- My script works in Surfer 9, but in Surfer 10 I get an error: Operand/operator type mismatch. It stops on a line inside a loop. Why?
Surfer 10 comes with a new version of Scripter. The old scripter (Surfer 7, 8 and 9) was rather forgiving about concatenating a number to a string, such as when you use the loop variable (a number) as part of a string in a command line. The new Scripter enforces the BASIC language rules a bit mo ...

- My data is in curvilinear (cylindrical or spherical) coordinates. How can I get it into a format that Surfer can use?
We have written a GS Scripter program ( crv2xyz7.exe ) which can convert from cylindrical or spherical coordinates into X, Y and Z data. This program is available for download from our Scripts Library.
