<!-- Class -->
This class allows you to display information by drawing points on an area based on a value from the features data.
=== Remarks ===
This class allows you to display information by drawing points on an area based on a value from the features data. The higher the value is in the data, the greater the number of points that are drawn. The points themselves are distributed randomly inside of the polygon.

You would use this style if you have areas (such as counties) and numeric data (such as the number of births in those counties). In this example, you could plot a point in each county to represent each birth. A county will show a higher density of points if it is smaller or if there are more births there.

When you have data values that are too large to represent by plotting an individual point for each, or data that is too sparse, you can set the PointToValueRatio. Setting this will control the ratio of points drawn to the value in the data. For example, if you have a value of 100 in the data and you have the ratio set to 1, then you will get 100 points drawn. A ratio of higher than 1 will draw more points than the data value; in our example, a ratio of 2 will draw 200 points. Conversely, a ratio of less than 1 will draw fewer points than the data value; in our example, a ratio of 0.5 would draw 50 points.

==== Draw(IEnumerable<BaseShape>, GeoCanvas, Collection<SimpleCandidate>, Collection<SimpleCandidate>) ====
This method draws the shapes on the canvas you provided.
=== Remarks ===
This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method DrawCore. In this method, we take the shapes you passed in and draw them on the canvas you provided. Each style (based on its properties) may draw each shape differently.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs. If you have questions about this, please contact our support team as we would be happy to work with you on extending our framework.

==== GetRequiredColumnNames() ====
This method returns the column data for each feature that is required for the style to properly draw.
=== Remarks ===
This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method GetRequiredColumnNamesCore. In this method, we return the column names that are required for the style to draw the feature properly. For example, if you have a style that colors areas blue when a certain column value is over 100, then you need to be sure you include that column name. This will ensure that the column data is returned to you in the feature when it is ready to draw.

In many of the styles, we add properties to allow the user to specify which field they need; then, in the GetRequiredColumnNamesCore we read that property and add it to the collection.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs.

===== Protected Methods =====
==== DrawCore(IEnumerable<Feature>, GeoCanvas, Collection<SimpleCandidate>, Collection<SimpleCandidate>) ====
This method draws the features on the canvas you provided.
=== Remarks ===
This overridden method is called from the concrete public method Draw. In this method, we take the features you passed in and draw them on the canvas you provided. Each style (based on its properties) may draw each feature differently.

When overriding this method, consider each feature and its column data values. You can use the full power of the GeoCanvas to do the drawing. If you need column data for a feature, be sure to override the GetRequiredColumnNamesCore and add the columns you need to the collection. In many of the styles, we add properties to allow the user to specify which field they need; then, in the GetRequiredColumnNamesCore, we read that property and add it to the collection.

=== Remarks ===
This property controls the ratio of points on the screen to numeric value in the data. For example, if you have a value of 100 in the data and you have the ratio set to 1, then you will get 100 points drawn. A ratio of higher than 1 will draw more points than the data value; in our example, a ratio of 2 will draw 200 points. Conversely, a ratio of less than 1 will draw fewer points than the data value; in our example, a ratio of 0.5 would draw 50 points.

==== RequiredColumnNames ====
This property gets the collection of fields that are required for the style.
=== Remarks ===
This property gets the collection of fields that are required for the style. These are in addition to any other columns you specify in styles that inherit from this one. For example, if you have use a ValueStyle and it requires a column name for the value comparison, then that column does not need to be in this collection. You only use the RequiredColumnNames for columns you need beyond those required by specific inherited styles.
