Re: FN-FORUM: Mapping problem

How about, divide the big square into, say, 4 squares - look at how
many are in each, then continue this process with the square with the
least population. And keep going until you have the size you want. But
it depends how the rest of it is setup I suppose, as to how easy that
will be.

Regards, and good luck,
Joe.
