Short Description

The Bubble series, in addition to Point series capabilities, allows you to visually represent data that has a third dimension, expressed as the bubble’s size. You map two dimensions along the usual X and Y axes, and then the third dimension is displayed as a shape (a filled circle - “bubble”, or a star, triangle, etc.) at the data point.

An example of the Bubble chart is shown in the image below.
