Golden Software is excited to announce the release of Surfer 9!

Create and combine maps from all popular formats and output them just the way you need. Virtually all aspects of your maps can be customized to produce exactly the presentation you want.

  1. Transparency
    See all your data! Make colors, map layers, fill patterns, images, and missing data for image maps and shaded relief maps transparent! You have full control over the opacity percentage.
  2. GeoTIFF support
    No more guesswork! Save time and frustration by importing georeferenced image files in their real world coordinates, ready to combine with other map types. Also export your maps as georeferenced images files!
  3. Convert the Projection of Data in the Worksheet
    Project your data from more than 1,500 predefined coordinate systems or define your own custom projection or datum! Add frequently used coordinate systems to your Favorites list to be easily accessible in the future.
  4. Add, Remove and Edit Objects in a Base Map
    Surfer 9 adds the ability to expand your base maps to show you all the individual components of the base map. You can add, copy, paste and delete objects from a base map, or double click on a particular object to edit its individual properties.
  5. Length and Area Calculations
    Area and length calculations are here! Surfer reports the area and perimeter length of polygons and the length of polylines in a base map. Simply double click on the polygon or polylines in the base map and the information is reported.
  6. More Supported Grid Formats
    Surfer is more compatible than ever with different data sources. Surfer supports many more grid formats, including: Arc/Info Binary Grid, Arc/Info ASCII Grid, Banded Grid (commonly used when downloading SRTM and NED data from the USGS Seamless Server), ER Mapper Grid, ESRI Float Grid, and ZMAP
  7. And more!

Surfer 9 is available for $699. Upgrades from any previous version of Surfer are just $229. Visit our web site for more details or to place your order.
