Surfer 11 Revision History

 

Surfer 11.4.958 (April 18, 2013)
  • The EnableFBO setting is now an option under Tools | Options; you would enable this to use the Microsoft OpenGL driver instead of the video card driver on the computer
  • Grid was different if it was blanked outside the convex hull of data during gridding vs. using Grid Blank to blank it after gridding
  • Creating a watershed from some grid files caused Surfer to stop working
  • STL exception occurred when negative values were entered in the gridding Search dialog
  • The Cancel button in the classed post map Classes dialog did not work
  • Profile lines were not created with fine enough resolution; the maximum distance between points in the line was decreased to 1/2 the grid cell width
  • The links under Help | Golden Software on the Web were outdated
  • On a post map layer, the custom label leader line disappeared when the label plane was reset to screen
  • When post data was overlaid on the edges of a wireframe, the bounding box was too large
  • In the Grid Node Editor, the View | Zoom In command showed the wrong hotkey
  • Surfer sometimes crashed when attempting to export to a DXF file
  • Surfer got stuck in a loop when setting the coordinate system for a layer when the actual coordinates were outside the range of the selected coordinate system
  • Surfer crashed when importing some TIF files, such as when the image is both tiled and JPEG compressed
  • The wrong datum was exported for MGA94 when exporting to a MIF
  • The left edges of filled symbols were cut off when using File | Print to print to a PDF file
  • "Incomplete text entity" error occurred when importing some DXF files
  • Some entities were missing when importing AutoCAD 2010 DXF format DXF files
  • Exported underlined text to PDFs did not export the underline
  • Australian GDA94 coordinate systems were changed to use the general purpose GDA94 datum (WGS84-base) instead of year-shifted datum
  • 1,000,000,000 was sometimes entered as the Last Row by default in the Data | Transform dialog

 



Surfer 11.3.862 (January 24, 2013)
  • An Internal Error was generated when replacing the source file and updating the map limits for a base map
  • The Digitized Coordinates window did not save new data to the same file after saving the file once
  • The vertical scroll bar and vertical separator in the Property Manager were difficult or impossible to move
  • The Help | Check for Update command was not available when no document window was open
  • Surfer allowed grids to be created that were entirely blanked


Surfer 11.2.848 (January 14, 2013)
  • "No data in clipboard" error occurred when pasting a 3D surface plot as a metafile.
  • 32-bit grayscale TIF images exported from Surfer could not be imported.
  • Attribute values for ellipses, rectangles, rounded rectangles, spline polylines were not exported
  • Attributes for a SHP file were not imported if the DBF file was open in another program
  • Automation: After changing the source file for a base map, setting any of the line or fill properties would set the existing line and fill properties back to their default value
  • Automation: After changing the source grid file for a contour map, the level line color for contours could not be set
  • Could not convert the coordinate system of a UTM map when the map spanned multiple UTM zones
  • Dashes in dashed lines were shifted when exporting to a PDF file
  • Exporting a 3D Surface to an image format and changing the pixel dimensions caused incorrect export
  • GeoTIFF files were not imported in the correct units when the georeference parameters were defined by a set of control points (this is not common) and the linear units are something other than meters
  • If a georeferenced image containing a transformation that includes a rotation or distortion, Surfer issues a warning that the coordinates may be incorrect
  • Images georeferenced with a rotation or distortion were imported without warning that the coordinates may be inaccurate
  • Importing SID Files opened the SID Import Options dialog twice
  • Importing some ASCII text files generated the error "Unexpected end of file while reading DBF header"
  • Importing some EMF files with Break Apart enabled yielded unexpected results (i.e. ellipses were filled when they shouldn't be)
  • In Grid Mosaic, the X Maximum and Y Minimum fields did not update the Grid Extents box
  • In the Image Export options dialog, the pixel dimensions were not reset after clicking Defaults
  • Internal Error occurred (SceneList.cpp, line 517) when deleting a base layer created from a large file
  • Internal Error occurred after clicking Edit | Undo after running out of memory
  • Internal Error occurred when converting a non-sensical coordinate system
  • Internal Error occurred when creating a map from and ETOPO TIF file
  • Internal Error occurred when printing a report window, leaving the Print window open, and then performing other tasks in the program that generated a warning and then clicking Edit | Undo
  • Internal Error occurred when saving digitized coordinates using All Files (*.*)
  • MIF export now replaces spaces and non-alpha characters (such as # or -) in attribute text to underscores
  • MIF export now warns users if 1) attempting to export more than 250 attributes; 2) attempting to export more than 254 characters per attribute; or 3) the attribute list is larger than 4000 bytes, all of which are not supported by MapInfo.
  • MIF import parsed attributes incorrectly
  • Older SRF files containing text with the up or dn math text instructions opened in Surfer 11 with incorrect spacing
  • Some Chinese characters were not displayed correctly
  • Surfer crashed in Intel's OpenGL driver (ig4dev64.dll) when requested render buffer is too big
  • Surfer crashed when changing contour interval for a large contour map and then scrolling in the Property Manager
  • Surfer crashed when exporting a map with a projection but not a datum to a MIF file Surfer crashed when importing some VTK files
  • Surfer crashed when trying to export very large JPG files
  • Tar.gz files were not recognized during import
  • The attribute label text in base layers could be extremely large or upside down
  • The correct symbol was not displayed in classed post maps
  • The error "Bitmap width or height <=0" or "Bitmap width or height = =0" occurred when trying to copy filled polygons less than 1 pixel in size

 



Surfer 11.1.719 (September 12, 2012)
  • Internal Error occurred when the progress gauge was displayed as it allowed a map to be redrawn before all the specified settings were applied
  • Surfer crashed during installation on some computers when reading the video card configuration
  • Watershed maps did not read the coordinate system information
  • Surfer crashed when attempting to overlay an image base map on a wireframe map
  • The COM typelib ID was changed back to what it was in previous versions of Surfer
  • Polygons and polylines in a base layer overlaid on a 3D surface map in perpsective view could be reshaped
  • Internal Error occurred when a coordinate system has been specified for a map that is incompatible with the coordinates of the data
  • Spaces in grid file name caused the Info section to not display in the Open dialog accessed from Grid Math
  • Surfer crashed after accessing the variogram statistics dialog
  • Internal Error when output file is deleted in Grid Data dialog and OK is clicked
  • Image base maps exported to DXF, GSI and EMF files, and imported back into Surfer imported with the image in an incorrect location
  • Fill patterns in some Surfer 8 SRF files opened incorrectly
  • Reshaping a line in a base map overlaid on a 3D surface map was not redrawn
  • Drawing a polyline when holding the CTRL key did not redraw correctly
  • Text font size was too large on some imported DXF files
  • Resizing an image with the bicubic filtering caused an access violation
  • Surfer did not import the attribute strings for point objects in MIF files
  • GeoTIFF files in State Plane coordinates were not exported with the correct False Easting values
  • "Internal file format" was not checked by default on the Spatial References tab in the Export Options dialog
  • GSR1 and GSR2 files were not applied when importing a GSB file without internal georeferencing
  • Negative values in grid caused problems with column spacing when saving a grid in ZMAP format
  • Surfer crashed when importing corrupted ECW files
  • Some lines were lost when exporting a complex polygon to a KML file
  • Surfer crashed when trying to grid some XLSX files
