A bubble chart draws bubbles of different sizes (diameters) in 2D space. |
|
The bubble chart is based on XY Plot and XY Renderer. It inherits all their properties.
This is what bubble chart looks like:
Dataset
The bubble chart supports Custom Data model only.
It has the following Source Data Bindings:
Binding |
Expected Value Type |
Description |
Series |
String |
Textual name of the data series. |
X |
Number |
X (domain) coordinate of the bubble center. |
Y |
Number |
Y (range) coordinate of the bubble center. |
Z |
Number |
Z-value, that may be bubble diameter, its length along the X-axis or its length along the Y-axis. These depends on the Scale Type property. |
Common Properties

Custom Properties
Scale Type
Method used to determine the size of the bubbles drawn by this renderer:
| • | Scale On Both Axes: bubbles are drawn as ellipses where the width and height of the ellipse is determined by the z-value scaled against both axes; |
| • | Scale On Domain Axis: bubbles are drawn as circles where the diameter of the circle is determined by the z-value scaled against the domain axis; |
| • | Scale On Range Axis: bubbles are drawn as circles where the diameter of the circle is determined by the z-value scaled against the range axis. |
Property name: scaleType
