Contour Levels - Grid Editor

The Contour Levels dialog controls the Advanced contours in the Grid Editor. Click the Edit Levels button in the Contours page to open the Contour Levels dialog.

The Contour Levels dialog controls the display of the contour map in the grid editor window.

Levels Group

The Levels group lists the contour levels and colors of contour lines used in the grid editor window.

Levels

Click the Level button to display the Contour Levels dialog. The Contour Levels dialog controls the minimum and maximum contour levels as well as the contour interval to use between levels.

Line

The Line button displays the Line Spectrum dialog that controls the colors and widths of the minimum and maximum contour lines. Surfer automatically produces a gradational spectrum of colors between the minimum and maximum colors.

Add

The Add button adds a contour line halfway between selected contour level and the next lower contour. If the minimum contour level is selected, the added contour level is the same as the minimum level.

Delete

The Delete button removes the selected contour from the list of contours.

Load

The Load button allows you to select an existing level file [.LVL] containing contour level information. All grid files using the level file must have comparable Z data ranges, otherwise contour lines will not appear on the map.

Save

The Save button allows you to save the current contour level and line property information to a level file .LVL.
