Edit Grids or Rasters
You are the expert on your area of study and as you know, the data doesn’t always match what is in the field.
Surfer’s grid editor lets you quickly adjust contour lines by interactively editing the underlying grid file. Display point data or base layers in the grid editor for context, so you know exactly where and how to edit your grids. Brush, warp, smooth, push down or up, and erase grid nodes, and immediately see the changes to your grid-based maps.
Surfer makes it super easy to align the data with reality!
