Also could it have an option to use pie chart as bubbles?

When will 3.0 be generally available ?

Hi, I'm trying your demo and I have found an issue in IExplorer 8 and 9. When you click to hide a series in the legend, the graph points change their position with a shift on the bottom-right side. All works correctly in Chrome.

see: http://jsfiddle.net/54ECU/

Thanks!

Hi David, actually this is a feature that we have been discussing, and currently there's no way of doing it. Probably we need an option to group scatter series together. We'll look into it.

Thanks, the new bubble chart looks great.

Is there a way when plotting more than 1 series to have consistent sizing of the bubbles across the several series?
e.g. this fiddle, http://jsfiddle.net/qZFeu/6/ I've added another series with larger radii, but an item in series1 with radius 150 won't appear twice as large as an item from series 2 with radius 75, for example

thanks

Thanks Hrusikesh, I've logged that.

Although I understand that its still under development, one issue I found was that setData doesn't work if you don't initialize it with some data: http://jsfiddle.net/mrchief/YVmBJ/15/. In this example, setData has no effect but if you initialize the data arraay with same or greter number of elements, setData works fine as long as the array length doesn't exceed initial size.

Great thanks!

Just like any other charts, you can run point.update() to create changes in the data. Animation over time can be done by constantly updating all points for each time frame.

once you guys implement the bubble charts, will they be animated over a timeline?

Further examples of bubble charts implemented via Highcharts scatter series, for reference:

http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/yHWfX/5/
http://jsfiddle.net/jlbriggs/exP8d/0/

Radius values are calculated server side by setting a min and max radius value, and returning a proportional value based on the data point's 'z' value compared to the max 'z' value.
Same function could be applied in javascript when loading via CSV.

Hi, and how would the upload via csv look like in your mentioned bubble chart? Could you help me with that? I am trubbling around since days...

As you see in my previous comment, we have bubble working as a hack of scatter chart. Donuts are also implemented, see under Pie charts in the demo page.

It's very strange that you don't have your own bubble and "donut"-like charts so far? It's very popular these days!?

Hey: we have the Bubble Chart working for FusionCharts made from your advise as below! http://www.fusioncharts.com/gallery/Category.asp?BubbleXYPlot

Thanks!

Although Highcharts doesn't have a specific bubble chart series type yet, you can create a simplified bubble chart from a scatter plot with individual point sizes: http://highcharts.com/cases/bubble.htm

I find Bubble Charts extremely valuable in marketing analysis as you try to understand multiple dimensions
