Known number of dots inside of a circle

[Carlos272704699ifn]

Hello. I've been trying to do a infographic in which I wanted a known number of dots inside of a circle. Take this example: population density, each dot represents 100k of people, so, 100 dots would be 10M. Is there any way of doing it instead of manually drawing each one? Is ther any way of making them random without overlapping? Thanks in advance!

There are plugins that generate dots inside circles with random distribution, but none that can generate exactly $ number. Maybe d3.js can do that.

It's not vector but you can use it as a template to quickly place your circles.
