With the graphomate bubbles you will be able to visualize up to five data dimensions. These data series are the following.

Dimension	Description
X Axis	A series of values which will represent the coordinates on the x axis of the data points. The x axis represents the main dimension and serves as source for the extraction of diagram labels.
Y Axis	A series of values which will represent the coordinates on the y axis of the data points. The y axis represents the subordinate dimension which contains a matching value for each element of the x axis.
Circle	A series of values representing the area of the Bubbles. Setting data of this series is optional, but it requires the previously described series to be set. If no data is set here the chart will be drawn as a Scatterplot.
Arc	A series of values representing the area of the grey segment of each bubble (see picture below). This optional segment show the share of the corresponding value of the Circle series. Hence it is obligatory that the Circle series is set, if you want to use the Arc series.
Deviation	A series of values, also optional, which represents yet another segment of the whole circle. This segment is intended for a previous year value. This value's deviation from the Arc value is displayed by a red or green bar (see picture below) for a positive or negative deviation respectively. This series can only be used if the previously described series are set.

Please take care that you do not select data series with different offsets. For example, do not select the members January to June for the x axis and July to December for the y axis. You should select values of the same members for the y axis to ensure the values to match each other and the diagram labels to be extracted correctly.

Visual objects of the graphomate bubbles

Title for the diagram (may contain more than one row).
Series Labels, one for each data series. They are automatically generated from the data selection. The Series Labels of the data series X Axis und Y Axis (see above, Budget act. And Customer Rating) are displayed on the respective axis. They are called Axis Labels. The Series Labels for the data series Circle, Arc and Deviation (see above, Net Sales, Budget act. and Budget prev.) are displayed as a legend on the right.
Bubbles: The elements of this diagram are called Bubbles and represent a set of information according to the selected data series.
The Category Label is the label for a Bubble, which is generated from the data selection of the x axis series.
The Circle Label of a Bubble specify the value of its Circle Dimension, which is the data series that defines this Bubbles' area.
The Value Labels of a Bubble specify the values of Arc dimension (see above, grey area) and the deviation from the dimension Deviation (see above, red and green bars).
