Distribution of points within the cell of a 2D histogram

ROOT

Hello,
In the manual it is mentioned that when a 2D histogram is drawn as a Scatter plot, a number of points proportional to cell content is drawn.
However it is not mentioned how they are distributed within the cell ? Is it random ?

Thank you in advance,
Costas

Yes, it is “random”.

Welcome to the ROOT forum.

This default representaion is a pseudo scatter plot. It is not recomended to dislay 2D histrograms. You better use the BOX of COL options instead.
