Bubble Chart

Description

The Chart.js Bubble Chart macro can show several data sets of bubbles. The bubbles of each data set have a different color, indicated by the legend above the matrix. Each bubble is based on three values, its x-coordinate, its y-coordinate and its radius. A mouse-over tooltip shows these three values and the data set name it belongs to.

Data Table

The macro requires a table with your data in the macro body. It needs to follow a certain format. Here is an example used for the above screenshoot:

Series	x	y	r	Color
2016	-23	-19	12	maroon
2016	-17	-4	16	maroon
2016	13	-13	13	maroon
2016	-16	16	16	maroon
2017	12	-4	11	blue
2017	-6	19	13	blue
2017	23	12	16	blue
2017	34	14	22	blue
2018	-11	7	9	olive
2018	9	8	10	olive
2018	11	-11	11	olive
2018	16	12	13	olive
2019	6	23	17	teal
2019	-12	-23	6	teal
2019	-4	-21	12	teal
2019	-22	17	14	teal

Header Row

The table must have a header row. It serves a visual purpose only though and the macro will ignore it.

Columns

The table must have at least 5 columns. You can add more if you want for your own purposes but the App will only read the first five and interpret them as follows. Each row represents one bubble.

Series	x	y	r	Color
The data series name of this bubble. All rows for one series must be underneath each other (grouped).	The x-ccordinate of the bubble	The y-ccordinate of the bubble	The radius of the bubble in pixel	The color of the bubble. You can either enter “random” for a random color or one of the web color names.
