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 User Support www.qcooperative.net A quinta, 27/07/2023, 18:27, C Hamilton via QGIS-User < qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org> escreveu: > 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.
