punktleppemärkidel põhineva kujutusviisiga teemakaart, mida kasutatakse nähtuse esinemise tiheduse näitamiseks; legendis tuleb ära näidata ühe punkti kaal

A variant on the conventional choropleth map is the dot-density map, which uses points as a more aesthetically pleasing means of representing the relative density of zonally averaged data - but not as a means of depicting the precise locations of point events.
On a dot map one dot represents a certain amount of some phenomenon (e.g., one dot might represent a specified number of people)m and dots are placed at locations within enumeration units where the phenomenon is apt to occur.
