I have a list of $ (x, y) $, say {{x1, y1}, {x2, y2}, ..., {x1000, y1000}} and would like to make a density plot.

I understand that I may categorize the data into different groups first, and count the number of element in each group, then make a ListDensityPlot.

I would like to ask if there is other faster way to do it, or any built-in function can be used?

Thank you!

    $\begingroup$ It sounds like you are talking about a histogram rather than density plot. Histogram3D should plot your list as it is (without having to gather it into counts) $\endgroup$

Histogram3D[Table[RandomReal[{0, 1}, {2}], {1000}]]
