[Qgis-user] Dot Density Symbology

[Alexandre Neto]

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 be derived of each feature attributes

Best regards,

Alexandre Neto
