GridConvert2
GridConvert2 converts between various grid formats. Returns a Boolean. Returns 'True', if the conversion operation is successful, otherwise, it returns 'False'.
The GridConvert2 command should be used instead of GridConvert when an options string needs to be used to load the grid file.

Example 1
This example demonstrates how to convert demogrid.grd into an ASCII data file called dgrid1.dat that stores the X, Y, and Z coordinates of each grid node on a separate line.
SurferApp.GridConvert2(InGrid:=SurferApp.Path+"\Samples\demogrid.grd", _
OutGrid:=SurferApp.Path+"\Samples\dgrid1.grd", OutFmt:=srfGridFmtXYZ, _
OutGridOptions:="ValuesPerLine=5, BlankLinePerGridRow=1, NumericFormatType=1, _
NumericFormatDigits=5")
Example 2
This example demonstrates how to save Telluride.grd to an ASCII data file and save the spatial references as an Esri AUX.XML file and an Esri .prj file.
Surfer.GridConvert2(InGrid:=InGridPath+"Telluride.grd", OutGrid:=OutGridPath + "Convert.grd", OutFmt:=srfGridFmtAscii, _
OutGridOptions:="ValuesPerLine=5, BlankLinePerGridRow=1, NumericFormatType=1, NumericFormatDigits=5, ForgetOptions=1, SaveRefInfoAsESRIprj=1, SaveRefInfoAsAUXXML=1")
