The void probability function was known from a long time to be an efficient tool in analysing the galaxy repartition (White, Sharp, Schaeffer). We developed a method to determine this quantity with a minimum noise, for any proposed distribution resulting from observations, simulations, or theory. We apply it here to the 2D-CFA catalog. This will be later compared to other 2D galaxy catalogs, to the 3D CFA catalog and to the results of numerical simulations.
