"Filtering spatial data."
4/5
What do you like best about Surfer?

Ease of use. The program has a good user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Surfer?

The lack of quantitative spatial filtering. A user should be able to say that they have filtered all features with wavelengths shorter than 1 km, rather than saying that they simply smoothed the data. Program needs a spatial Fourier Transform filtering capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
