GRD Surfer 6 Text Grid (*.grd) Export Automation Options

Since the Export Options dialog is not displayed when the program is driven from an automation script, an options string can be specified in the script. The string consists of a series of comma-separated keywords that specify the behavior of the import. A typical example would be:

"UserselectValuesPerLine = 1, ValuesPerLine=5, BlankLinePerGridRow=1, NumericFormatType=1, NumericFormatDigits=5"

This would set the number of values on a line to 5, adds a blank line between rows of grid nodes, and sets the numeric format to fixed with 5 significant digits.
