What is a bubble chart?

Many datasets contain two or more quantitative variables. You may be interested in how these variables relate to each other. To plot the relationship of just two such variables, usually you use a scatter plot. If you want to show more than two variables at once, you may opt for a multidimensional bubble chart.

How to make a bubble chart with Vizzlo?

Vizzlo’s bubble chart allows you to display up to four dimensions of your data:

  • horizontal dimension
  • vertical dimension
  • bubble size, and
  • bubble color.

Use the spreadsheet to enter your data with ease. Read our help center article on how to get your data into Vizzlo. If necessary, drag and drop the bubbles and their labels to reposition them manually. Explore the customization options in the sidebar:

  • Adjust the size differences between the largest and the smallest bubbles with ease.
  • To avoid overplotting, use transparency.
  • Want a scatter plot instead? Set the size of the bubbles to be the same by one click.
  • Color all your bubbles in the same way.
