[udig-devel] style using 2 layers

[Dan Putler]

Hi Dale,

I assume that the universities layer is a point layer of university  
locations? Are the layers shapefiles?

The way I would do this (assuming you are working with shapefiles) is  
to calculate the number of universities in each state, and then  
append this as a new attribute to the your USA states attribute  
table. It isn't a uDig based solution, but the typical way of dealing  
with this type of problem.
