Bubble Plot

The scatter plot can be extended to a bubble plot that is used to look at relationships between three numeric variables instead of two. Each dot in the bubble chart corresponds with a single data point, and the variables’ values for each point are indicated by horizontal position, vertical position, and dot size.

This example shows configuration of a bubble chart:
