A bubble chart is a scatter chart where data points are replaced with bubbles and its color and sizes serve as additional data dimensions. A bubble chart does not have the category axis. The horizontal and vertical axes are value axes. In addition, a bubble chart contains an animated timeline, which displays the frequency of values.
IMPORTANT. Before getting started with the visualizer make sure that system requirements to client computer are met for the desktop application, and to BI server for the web application. The web application supports work with visualizers if BI server is installed on Windows 7 or later. The visualizer may look differently depending on the DirectX 11 or OpenGL 3.1 graphics libraries in use.
