Description

Specifies whether or not dot size is held constant when the map scale changes.  If True, then dot size is maintained.

If False, then dot density is held constant and dot size will change. What this means is that when you zoom in on the map, the size of dots will increase to maintain the same density of "inked" space in each polygon. When you zoom out, the size of dots will decrease, again to maintain the same density of "inked" space in each feature between the old and new scale.
