Introduction to Color Spectrums

Color fill can be added to several map types and objects in Surfer. Contour maps can be line drawings or they can have color fill. The vector symbols on a vector map can be colored. You can choose a preset color spectrum for color relief maps, contour maps, and 3D surface maps or you can create and save your own color spectrum.

Colors are assigned through the Fill, Fill Properties, or Colormap properties, depending on the type of object. Color spectrums can be saved for future use as color spectrum files .CLR or as level files .LVL.

Color spectrums, such as the variation of Rainbow.CLR used in the color relief map above, can be saved for future use in other maps.
