Add, Remove and Edit Individual Objects in Base Maps!

Double click on an individual object
in a base map to edit its properties.
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. You can even reshape polylines and polygons in a base map! You can still collapse the base map, double click on Base and globally change the properties for all items in the map.
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.

Specify the source XY columns and projection and set the target XY columns and projection.
Click OK and the data in the new projection is calculated!

Have all your maps in the same coordinate system! Convert a grid file to a data file, reproject
the data in the worksheet, and regrid the data to create maps in the new projection!
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 and the information is reported. The polygons and polylines don even have to be a part of the original base map file. Import the base map, enter the base map group and simply draw the polygon or polylines right on the base map! It that easy to get area and length values!

Calculate the area and perimeter length of polygons and the length of polylines in a base map in map coordinates.
Move Individual Labels on Post Map with Mouse.
Eliminate overlapping and unreadable post map labels by effortlessly moving individual post labels to new locations by dragging and dropping them with your mouse! Labels that have been moved can optionally be linked to the corresponding post map symbol with a connection line.

Drag individual labels on a post map to new locations with your mouse to prevent overlapping or hard to read text!
