I have the shapefile (shp) of the map and I have the data with location (longitude, latitude). I used density point function in the ArcGIS and I don't know how to convert the density to per square km. I changed the unit of my map from Decimal Degree to kilometers. I wanted to change the Area Unit in the Dot Density to square km but it is not possible. Kindly help.</P> Mon, 13 Dec 2021 04:39:33 GMT MikeO 2021-12-13T04:39:33Z How to plot density map in square km. https://community.esri.com/t5/state-local-government-questions/how-to-plot-density-map-in-square-km/m-p/1125284#M4972 <P>How to plot density map in square km.
