Surfer

Surfer is a mapping, modelling and analysis package for scientists and engineers. Its interpolation engine converts XYZ data points into maps ready for publication.

Users can adjust nearly every aspect of the finished map.

What Surfer offers

• Gridding and interpolation — turns scattered XYZ data into surfaces.
• 2D and 3D maps — full-function mapping in both views.
• Map customisation — profiles, legends, titles, labels, faults and breaklines.
• Web map support — external maps from any web mapping service can be added.

Who it works with

Scientists, consultants, engineers and other users around the world.

The package is aimed at technical users who need to present spatial data clearly, and it is described as full-function rather than a basic charting tool.
