bathyTools is a tiny program written in Visual Basic .NET 2010 express edition for editing two-dimensional bathymetry data. It reduces number of data points by applying three different filters, duplicate data remover, merging small lines, and merging two successive lines with small angle. It also provides user data editing as well as measuring the difference between original and modified seabed.
