- How do I create a vector map with magnitude and direction arrows at the data points?
You can create a map showing vectors either by: 1. Creating a post map with a vector at each particular XY location using magnitude and direction data. The process will depend on if you already have the magnitude and direction data for the data points. a. You can have Surfer calc ...
- I want to blank outside several polygons on a map, but the entire map gets blanked, resulting in a horizontal planar grid.
Q: I want to blank the grid nodes outside several polygons on a map, but the entire map gets blanked, resulting in a horizontal planar grid. A: It may be that the area outside polygon A is inside polygon B, and vice versa, causing the entire map to be blanked. Combine the two polygons into a si ...
- How can I save a custom line style in Surfer 9?

- Do you have more information about using variograms in Surfer?
For more information about variograms, please download the variogram tutorial in PDF format. The tutorial PDF and the data set used in the tutorial (ExampleDataSetC.xls) are also attached to this Knowledge Base article (see link below in Attachments section).
- How can I read data from my database?
Grapher 7 allows data to be read directly from several sources, including Excel XLS, dBase DBF, Access MDB, and Lotus 1-2-3 files. These files can be opened in Grapher using the File | Open command. Select the file and click the Open button. The data file is opened. Other files, such as info ...
- How can I create a BLN file?
There are a number of ways to create a BLN file. A BLN file consists of a one line header followed by a list of XY points. The one line header simply is the number of proceeding data points. If you are using the BLN file for blanking a grid, then the header will also need to contain a 1 or ...
- Where can I check what the current version of the software is?
Q: Where can I check what the current version of the software is? Can I see a detailed list of what each update included? A: To check the current version of the software, visit: http://www.goldensoftware.com/updates.shtml. From each program's main web page, click on the Version History links t ...
- Can I use the zoom (and other commands) more than once?
Yes! When you invoke the zoom and many other commands from the toolbar buttons in MapViewer (4,5,6,7), Grapher (1-8), Strater, Surfer (5,6,7,8*, 9**), or Didger (2,3,4**), you have the following options: If you single-click on a tool, it will operate one time. If you double-click on the to ...
- Where can I find script examples?

- How can I save and load different project defaults in SET files?
You can save different default settings to different file names and open each file in the File | Preferences | Dialog Defaults (Surfer 8 and previous) or Tools | Options | Advanced (Surfer 9). To do this: Locate the surfer.set file in the Surfer installation directory. Copy the surfer.set file ...
- How can I export a contour map to a 3D DXF file and display it in AutoCAD in 3D?
To export a 3D DXF file and display the 3D surface in AutoCAD, follow these steps: Create a contour map by going to Map | New | Contour Map, selecting your grid file and clicking Open. The contour map is created. You can double click on the contour map and adjust the contour interval if you w ...
- How do I overlay surface maps in a block diagram without the base colors mixing together (stitching)?
The stitching is caused when the extents of the overlaid grid files are exactly the same. The solid bases are drawn on top of each other and intermingle. Offset the upper layers inward in the X and Y directions so the base surfaces do not overlap. You can do this a number of ways: 1. Grid the da ...
- How do I create a block diagram in Surfer like the one shown on your web site and brochure?
Create surface maps from grids of each of the layers. Overlay the surface maps, enable the Show Base option, and specify a different fill color for each layer. Please see attached screenshot for a progression of the maps. For an example, please see attached GRD files and SRF file. Grid | Math ...
- Can I stack/overlay 2D concentration contour maps at their respective elevations?
Q. I would like to create a series of stacked grids that contain contoured groundwater data taken from a constant elevation across a site. How can I bring the contour maps together into a single block style diagram with a imposed Z axis that reflects elevation rather than chemcial concentration ...
- How are the default scale and other parameters calculated for the variogram model listed in the Kriging Advanced Options dialog?
Q: How are the default scale and other parameters calculated for the variogram model listed after going to Grid | Data, selecting Kriging as the gridding method, and clicking on the Advanced Options button? A: The default parameters for Slope and Anisotropy are set to 1. Use the Grid | Variogra ...
- How can I use SDTS DEM data from the USGS to create a Surfer map?

- Which files from the USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) will work in Surfer?
Q: I am downloading seamless elevation datasets from the USGS National Elevation Database (http://seamless.usgs.gov/index.php). They offer download in GeoTIFF, ArcGrid, BIL and GridFloat formats. Which download formats will work in Surfer? A: They all work in Surfer 9. The GeoTIFF, ArcG ...
- I used the drawing tools to add lines, rectangles and text to my map, but these objects don't move when I rescale the map with the Map | Scale menu.
Q: I used the drawing tools to add lines, rectangles and text to my map, but these objects don't move when I rescale the map with the Map | Scale menu. A: Convert the objects to "map" objects with map coordinates and overlay on the existing map. For Surfer 9, this is easily done by first creati ...
- How do I import and/or export a TIF with a TFW world file into Surfer?
Surfer 9 You do not need to do anything special to import a georeferenced image file. Go to Map | New | Base Map, select the TIF file and click Open. If the image is georeferenced, it will import in the correct map coordinates. To export a TIF/TFW file from Surfer 9, you can simply: 1. Go to Fil ...
