Hi Vania, Do you try to (1) select randomly among already existing points or (2) generate new points, randomly distributed similar to the dot-density thematic maps?

My criterion of 'random' is that the selected points are spread geographically across the area of the polygon. I have a map of about 500 polygons and I would preferably do this automatically but I don't have any knowledge of MapBasic. Any suggestion?
