For turning a photo or text into a Halftone tone pattern, vector dots. Many ways.

Ton gave you one way.

Scripts is definitely the way to go.

I first created a Symbol.

Here I tested 3 scripts.

All worked

Special thank you and praise to Illustrator Script writers.

Easiest would be to use the plugin Phantasm (not for free)

But using scripts you can do it with other shapes as well: https://youtu.be/IwOMpdO_5Mk
