Abstract
In order to determine the Wigner function uniquely, we introduce a new condition which ensures that the Wigner function has correct marginal distributions along tilted lines. For a system in dimensional Hilbert space, whose "phase space" is a lattice with sites, we get different results depending on whether is odd or even. Under the new condition, the Wigner function is determined if is an odd number, but it does not exist if is even.
