This example shows a <a class="link" href="conc-plottypes.html#plottype-bubbles" title="3.4.4. Plot Type: bubbles (Bubble Plot)">bubbles plot</a>.
A data array for a bubbles plot uses the
<a class="link" href="conc-datatypes.html#data-data-xyz">data-data-xyz</a> data type, in which three
coordinate values specify each point: X and Y are the position on the plot,
and Z maps to the bubble diameter.
</p><p>
In this example, X is the flavor, Y is the age group, and Z represents the
percentage of participants who liked that flavor.
Note that there are two missing points in the Y=1 row. No bubbles are
drawn at X=3,Y=1 or X=5,Y=1.
Presumably, no-one under 12 would try the pear or kiwi flavors, so there are
no valid data points there. This is different from a value Z=0, which
would be plotted with a bubble of the smallest size.
</p><p>
This plot type was added in PHPlot-5.5.0.
</p><p>
This example also shows the use of custom Y labels. A function
<code class="function">get_label()</code> is defined to map the Y tick value
into a string from an array of strings. This method allows the display
of arbitrary labels along the Y axis.
See <a class="xref" href="SetYLabelType.html" title="SetYLabelType"><span class="refentrytitle">SetYLabelType</span></a> for details.
