Stretching the map is not recommended for changing the scale or map size. Instead, we recommend actually changing the map scale. Then, the axis labels will not be stretched. To change the scale of the map, it depends on the version of Surfer you are using.

Surfer 10
  1. Select Map in the Object Manager.
  2. In the Property Manager, go to the Scale tab.
  3. Specify the Scale or Length of the X and Y directions.
Surfer 9
  1. Double-click on Map in the Object Manager to open the Map Properties dialog.
  2. Go to the Scale tab.
  3. Specify the Scale or Length of the X and Y directions.
  4. Click OK.
Surfer 8 and previous
  1. Double-click any of the map layers in the Object Manager to display the properties dialog box for that map type.
  2. Go to the Scale tab.
  3. Specify the Scale or Length of the X and Y directions.
  4. Click OK.
