Thanks all for the conversation and helpful thoughts. I finally had time this morning to read through and try things in qgis. For a polygon or multipolygon in the symbology settings, the random Marker fill seems to meet the need well. That should save me a lot of time! Have a good weekend all.

Good to learn about the various options. The uniform set of polygons is an excellent solution to get a more balanced idea of the density distribution. The problem is that you need to know whether your point is located inside this polygon or not, and as far as I understand, for that, you need to

Hello Hugh, https://docs.qgis.org/3.28/en/docs/user_manual/style_library/symbol_selector.html#random-marker-fill Check the random marker fill. I believe it's what you are looking for. As you can see in the docs, you can decide how many points you want to insert inside the polygon. This option can

This may not be an answer to your question, but the Density Analysis plugin (https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/densityanalysis/) will create a uniform set of polygons over an area of interest with a NUMPOINTS attribute of the number of points are contained within the polygon. The NUMPOINTS value can

Hi all, I've been producing dot density maps for demographics work by using postgis to assign points randomly within a polygon with the number of points determined by, for example, the total number of a population sub-group residing in that polygon. I"m wondering if there might be a way to do thi
