Hi, I'm creating profiles containing several grid layers. How do I select the current profile in scripter to set the fill properties of each layer?

  Hello Bjorn,

  Surfer does not yet support filling separate layers in a multi-layer profile through automation. I will add a vote on your behalf for this functionality to our feature request system.

  You can create multiple profiles with unique names in Scripter, eg:

  Set Profile1 = MapFrame.Profiles.Add(pts)

  Set Profile2 = MapFrame.Profiles.Add(pts)

   

  Then, use the object name as a reference when assigning fill colors, eg:

  Profile1.Fill.ForeColorRGBA.Color = srfColorBlue

  Profile2.Fill.ForeColorRGBA.Color = srfColorYellow

   

  Best wishes,

  Hello Justine,

  is it possible to draw the multi-layer profile in Surfer and then reshape the profile line with scripter? The aim is to cut a short video out of hundrets of profiles.

  Hi Björn,

  Yes, the profile line can be redrawn via automation and the profile updated with the new profile line.  To do this, the MapPoints must be redefined an applied to the profile using a code similar to the one below:

  'Define 3 New Points For Profile Line (In map units)
      pts(0) = 469309 : pts(1) = 4372842
      pts(2) = 472426 : pts(3) = 4376438
      pts(4) = 475235 : pts(5) = 4384007
  
  'Create Profile object
      Profile.MapPoints = pts
  

   

  Thanks!

  Katie
