How can I format my lat/long labels in Surfer in degrees/minutes/seconds?

You can format your lat/long labels (contour, axis, post, etc.) in degree/minute/second (DMS) format in the Label Format options.

For example, to display axis labels in DMS format, follow these steps:

1. Select the axis in the Contents window.
2. In the Properties window, on the General page, under the Labels section, expand the Label Format section.
3. Change the Type to DMS (Lat/long).
4. Change the DMS format to the specific lat/long format you wish.
5. Check any other options you wish, such as setting the number of decimal digits, displaying symbols (° ' "), embedding spaces, or suppressing leading or trailing zeros.
