New properties in bubble and scatter visualizations

Several new properties were introduced for bubble and scatter visualizations in IBM® Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.83:

Enable zoom bar

The zoom bar allows for horizontal and vertical scrolling in bubble and scatter visualizations. You can now enable the zoom bar in bubble and scatter visualizations to scroll and focus on a smaller area of the visualization.

Use the Enable zoom bar property to add the zoom bar to your visualization. Drag a handle on the bar to zoom and focus on an area in the visualization. The area of focus changes as you drag the handle.

Bubble size limits

You can specify bubble size limits in bubble and scatter visualizations in the Chart section under Properties.

In bubble visualizations, you can specify the minimum and maximum values for the bubble size. Bubbles for values that are below the minimum size appear as the minimum size, while bubbles for values that are above the maximum size appear as the maximum size.

When you specify a bubble size in a scatter visualization, all points in the visualization display at this specified size. The default bubble size in scatter visualizations is 3px.

Show item value and axis value grid lines

Two new properties, Show item value grid lines and Show item value grid lines, have replaced the Show grid lines property in bubble and scatter visualizations. These new properties now let you show or hide item value and axis value grid lines independently of each other.

You can find Show item value grid lines and Show item value grid lines in the Axis section under Properties.
