Description

Hello friends, welcome to the Surfer 13 edition on how to use the software for beginner students. Surfer can be used for mapping topographics, digitizing maps and for gridding x and y data coordinates. This course can be taken by any one who is into mapping, mine designing and engineering students preferably majoring in Mining Engineering, Map Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Civil and Structural Engineering, and other fields that are associated with the given majors. Its not  only targeted to give increase knowledge to the above given students but also anyone who wishes to learn the program its a great easy program to learn and l hope you enjoy it. For anyone who does not have information or knowledge on maps then this course is for you because it provides that before jumping into the program learning. Furthermore, map features like different types of scaling methods, coordinate orientation, contour ridges, north pole sign and overally the reading of the legend on the map. This course will provide gridding methods and how to grid data, how to make the map data coordinates more readable for the end user. Description of the object and property manager segments and playing around with the segments to change the colours, scales, adding features and so fourth to the plotted map. The course is going to be concluded with digitizing given original map, that is to put them on a map showing contour ridges and their heights on top of the contour ridges.
