Help creating a Symbol Map

[Robledoman]

Good morning everyone, I am new to the forum. I have recently started with Illustrator and I am sure there is someone here who can help me. I would like to recreate this map effect with symbols but I don't know how to do it: I leave the link

The truncated link you posted doesn't seem to be working. Post the full link if you can.

The effect cannot be replicated with the click of a button.

It involves either some third party applications, such as Processing.

In parts it can be created with plugins and scripting in Illustrator, but some additional manual work is still necessary.

Maybe you just want to move shapes around.

This blog post details a possible method using a few scripts, including Jongware's circle fill script:

The original thread for that script is here:

How to, with links to scripts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDFrPU3si8o - I didn't watch it so I don't know how good it is, but a simple google search bought up a lot of hits, this happened to be top of the list...
