BiVariate Bubble Chart
A BiVariate Bubble Chart visualizes scatter plots with configurable bubble sizes based on numeric measures, split across multiple grids using a Split dimension and optionally grouped by a Group dimension.
Each grid presents a distinct subset of the data for easy visual comparison.
Key Features:
- Multi-grid (small multiples) bubble/scatter charts split by a Split dimension.
- Optional Group dimension for multiple bubble series within each grid.
- Dynamic bubble sizes based on a measure value or alternate Size measure.
- Configurable Horizontal and Vertical orientation.
- DataZoom sliders for interactive panning/zooming on both axes.
- Customizable axis labels, legends, tooltips, and heatmap-based color mapping.
- Supports sorting, area grids, and pivoted group-based breakdowns.
Use Cases:
- Plotting sales vs. growth for regions and products.
- Sensor readings vs. time split by device type.
- Social media or marketing engagement vs. reach across campaign splits.
- Visualizing system or app performance metrics across infrastructure nodes.
⚙️ Setup
- Add the BiVariate Bubble Chart widget to your Infoboard.widget from the chart library onto your designer workspace.
- Select the chart.
- Go to the Widget Configuration tab in the Customize panel.
- Under the Configuration tab, select the Basic Configuration option to access the essential settings for the bi variate bubble chart.
- Select the Source which the chart will pull the data from the option.
- Map:
- Value (Measure) — The primary numeric value for bubble positions.
- Size (Measure) (optional) — A numeric measure that controls bubble size.
- Axis (Dimension) — The independent axis (categories, values, etc.).
- Split (Dimension) — The dimension to split the visualization into grids.
- (Optional) Group (Dimension) — To show multiple series in each grid.
- Optionally add a Date field for time-based filtering.
- Enable Hide Zero Values to omit symbols with zero values if needed.
