Post Files

 

Post Files are files that contain the values used in Grid Generation for the analysis. These  are produced simply to see the values and how the contours work with these values. The post files are included in a single zip file containing the files in Surfer (.srf) format. Also included is a single zip file containing all the files in jpg format and a sample jpg file that is viewed on this page. At the bottom of the page is the script I used to generate these files.
