<div dir="ltr">This may not be an answer to your question, but the Density Analysis plugin (<a href="https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/densityanalysis/">https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/densityanalysis/</a>) 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 be weighted using some other attribute. It will automatically style the density map as well from a given color ramp.<div><br></div><div>Calvin</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jul 26, 2023 at 8:06 PM Shinoto, PD Dr. Maria via QGIS-User <<a href="mailto:qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org">qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have a similar research problem, and the dots seem to be a wonderful solution. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, this email does not give any assistance re the original question, just an answer to the question below:<br>

<div>Here's (apologies for the closed source link) an example of the type of map/symbology I'm trying to describe.<a href="https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=30d2e10d4d694b3eb4dc4d2e58dbb5a5" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=30d2e10d4d694b3eb4dc4d2e58dbb5a5</a></div>

What about just shading the polygons using a gray scale?</div>

Given that your polygons should generate a uniform density of dots within the area they bound, I don't see value in generating the dots for symbology.</div>

<div>The polygon area may vary, as it does in my research (distribution of burials in administrative areas). Therefore, a small area always looks underrepresented as compared to a larger area, and vice versa. I have large administrative areas with low densitiy,
but they look well populated even with a very light shade of grey. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I would like to try to find a solution to Chris' problem since the representation with dots is closer to reality than colouring areas. I will report when I found a solution for my use case -- though this may be autumn...</div>
