A Surfer webinar on using scripts in Surfer for beginners.

Scripts are a useful way to work efficiently! Write and run your very own scripts with Surfer's built-in scripting tool, Scripter. Automate repetitive tasks, consolidate a complicated sequence of steps, or give the script to a co-worker to run so they don't have to learn Surfer.

Attend this free webinar to learn the language and layout of Surfer scripts. We will discuss how to get started writing your own scripts, explore the numerous scripting resources available to you, step through a few examples, and answer any of your specific questions.

Reasons to attend:

    Work smarter by implementing scripts into your workflows.
    Learn time saving tips and tricks when creating your own scripts.
    Access our numerous scripting resources.
    Get answers to all of your scripting questions.

Staff is on hand to answer questions throughout the webinar. Multiple sessions are scheduled, so pick the date that works best for you. Space is limited. Sign up today!

New Surfer webinar:

Do you need to customize your maps so the display of your data is limited to a specific area of interest? Do you need to generate irregularly shaped grids or clip out unnecessary data from your grid-based maps? Well, there are many approaches to accomplish this task in Surfer! Take a front row seat with one of our technical support specialists, Brittany Bodane, as she walks you through these workflows, using real world examples, of how to assign NoData areas to your grid files.

Golden Software is offering what looks like a free webinar on their Grapher 14 plotting product:

The latest release of Grapher is packed with powerful new features. Join product manager, Leslie McWhirter, for this free webinar which focuses on top features: new plots, Line plot smoothing, data formatting, project file pages, bar chart fill, and fit curve improvements. Specifically, this webinar will cover:

Various new geochemical plot types have been added in the form of four types of Durov Plots.

How to determine the smoothing level to make Line plots look more appealing to your audience.

How to plot data from rows or columns!

How to color Bar Chart bars differently based on whether the bar is below or above a user-defined base value.

Fit curves improvements: the ability to save and load weights to/from a file for a weighted average fit curve and ability to apply numeric formatting to inserted fit curve statistics.

Another webinar from Golden Software, this time focusing on custom griding in Surfer:

https://register.gotowebinar.com/rt/1569609321540824075

Gridding data is an essential workflow to create 8 different grid-based map types in Surfer. Drew explains the nuances of gridding data, right down to the basics, so you can create the perfect surface from your XYZ data. After attending this webinar, you will find that Surfer has never been easier to use!

This presentation will focus on:

    What is a grid file and how are they used in Surfer?
    Creating grid and raster files.
    What Gridding Methods are available in Surfer?
    Choosing the best gridding method for your data
    Creating maps from grid and raster files

Here's another free Golden Software seminar on processing GRD files using the various built-in math operations in Surfer:

Of course CalcImage does a lot of these sorts of things already (e.g., setting so-called "blank" values for data outside polygon mapped areas), but for you "power users" out there, this seminar might be interesting. Heck I might even watch this seminar myself.

Next week on Tuesday and Wednesday, Golden Software is offering a free webinar on using advanced features in Surfer:

We're excited to announce we have released some exciting new features in Surfer! We know your time is valuable, so we focused the new version on streamlining a lot of the steps in your workflow. Shave time off your workflows by learning to select multiple data, graphic, base or grid files at once when creating new Map or adding Map layers, toggle multiple layers on/off with one click, and change the units on your scale bar without editing your map.

In addition to focusing on saving you time, we also collected all of your suggestions and created some new features for you! See how to export high resolution images from Surfer's 3D View, select a specific color to make transparent, and create a Profile (or cross section) from any polyline that is part of a base layer.

Join product manager, Drew Dudley, for this free webinar where he'll cover some of the most exciting new features and workflows in Surfer!

Specifically, this webinar will be focused on how to:

    Create multiple maps and map layers at once.
    Toggle visibility on/off for multiple map layers simultaneously.
    Set a specific color with in an image to be transparent.
    Change the units on the Scale bar.
    Export images from Surfer's 3D View.
    Create a Profile (or cross section) from any polyline with a base layer.

Upcoming Surfer webinar by Golden Software:  Take Your Contour Maps to the Next "Level"

Do you have a solid grasp of the gridding and contouring processes in Surfer, but feel there may be some unexplored features that could take your contour maps over the top? Perhaps you have a need to calculate the volume or area between specific contour levels, or all contour levels with just a few clicks. Maybe you would like to smooth contour lines and create custom color scheme that perfectly communicates your data.



The webinar team at Golden Software is presenting a free webinar that will teach you new and efficient workflows to create professional quality contour maps in Surfer. Join Jake Stachewicz while he uses real datasets inspired by customers just like you in industries such as hydrology, geology, and environmental engineering.

During the presentation, Jake will cover the following topics which will help you improve your contouring workflows:

    Using Surfer's Grid Editor for quick contour edits
    Smoothing contour lines
    Advanced Contour Level editing
    Calculating the area and volume between contours (no script needed)
    Finalizing your contour edits to create professional quality maps.
