Bubble, Bubble: Less Toil, No Trouble

Overview The idea of using a circular image to portray frequency and amount was formalized by Playfair. These first "Statistical charts" illustrated the number of inhabitants in major European cities by a set of hand-drawn circles, with the diameter of the circle indicating population thus enabling effective comparison by city. Today's bubble charts enable the same effective comparison of frequency of phenomena of interest but with two pronounced improvements. The first contemporary improvement is the addition of a location matrix-Cartesian coordinate system-to enable display of the bubble plots in relation to a second variable. More importantly, the second improvement is the ability to use computers to draw and replicate the bubble plots quickly and inexpensively.
