holy crap!! i use this software for a living!!! i didn't think that anyone else in the world knew about it!! i write programs for it, make maps, manipulate data, i should be able to help. What sort of course are you doing??

if i have to produce a map showing population density is it better to produce a choropleth or dot map

**LostFarmboy** · 03-03-2005, 06:57 PM

How are u showing the different areas for the populations?? Are you using census districts or something? i wouldn't use a dot map cause the populations are being showed for AREAS i'm gathering, not for specific POINTS on a map.

Hope this makes sense and maybe helps a little.

I'll be happy to try and answer any other q's you have.
