Bubble Graphs

Bubble graphs can be used to:

The Bubble graph is not actually a separate graph type. It is actually a subtype of all Plot graphs. In Bubble graphs, a third data value, called the bubble data value, is added to each data item. The bubble value is used to determine the size of a bubble that will appear at the data item's plot point.

A bubble graph can be used for three-dimensional data—that is, x-y data items that have a quantitative element to them. Example 13.13 below shows an X-Y graph works.
