Introduction
In Surpac you can create plots using:
•
Autoplot
•
File-based plotting
Autoplot is essentially What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) plotting from the Surpac
graphics environment. It is simple and easy to use.
File-based plotting allows you to perform more complex plotting functions.
Requirements
Prior to proceeding with this tutorial, you should ensure you have the following items:
A copy of the software for installation. This is usually installed from a CD, but the
software can be downloaded from the www.surpac.com website.
Objectives
The objective of this document is to enable you to plot from Surpac.
1
Setting the Work Directory
A work directory is the default directory for saving Surpac files. Files used in this tutorial are
stored in the folder:
<installation directory>\demo_data\tutorials\plotting
where <installation directory> is the directory in which Surpac was installed.
Task: Setting the Work Directory
1.
2.
In the Surpac Navigator, right-click the plotting folder.
From the popup menu, select Set as work directory.
The name of the work directory is displayed in the title bar of the Surpac window.

Autoplot
Overview
You can create plan, section, or three-dimensional plots of data with Autoplot.
Workflow
The Autoplot process is outlined below:
3
There are two mandatory steps to create a plot file with Autoplot:
3.
Display the data to be plotted.
Display data in graphics
String files
DTM files
Database
Block models
Plug-ins
Display data in
graphics
String styles, colour, marker styles and text are all plotted as they are displayed in graphics.
4.
Run Autoplot and specify parameters such as sheet size, scale, etc.
Run Autoplot
Enter
Presentation
Parameters
Run Autoplot
Enter title
block text
Enter grid

Plan View Plotting
Task: Use Autoplot to Plot Data
1.
Open the file soil1.str by dragging it into graphics.
2.
From the Display menu, select Hide strings, then By selection.
Click the strings that you do not want in the final plot. For example, string 1000
represents the soil sample locations and should not be plotted as a line.
3.
Click ESC to exit the Hide strings function.
You should have an image on screen like the following:
4.
From the Display menu, select Point, then Markers.
5.
Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
5
6.
From the Display menu, select Point, then Attributes.
7.
Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.

8.
From the Plotting menu, select Autoplot.
9.
Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
10.
Click and drag to select a small area of the screen to plot.

7
11.
Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
12.
Enter an interval of 100 for X and Y Grid Lines, select full lines for your Grid Type, then
click Apply.
At this point the plot will be processed and the Navigator will be updated. In this
case, the layer name is soil1.str so the resultant plot file will be soil1_str.dwf.
Surpac starts the Plot Preview window with the file displayed as shown.
