We started the chapter looking at how to create a bubble chart. This allowed us to plot a third data point beyond our x
and y
values. We then created a bubble chart showing different TV manufacturers with the revenue, units sold, and percentage of total profit for each.
Next, we discussed how to build a block plot, and then we plotted the revenue and units sold for each manufacturer in various product categories. We learned how to use the enhanced legend to remove data series in order to help us when looking at these series individually. Finally, we learned how to create a waterfall chart and plotted revenue and various company expenses.
In the next chapter, we will learn the replot
and redraw
methods. These methods will allow us to refresh our charts without reloading our web page. This will allow our charts to display real-time data.
