React Scatter Charts & Bubble Charts
React Scatter Charts are used to represent quantitative data through markers. They are also referred to as Scatter Plot or Point Chart. A marker is drawn at each point and its shape and size can be customized as required.
React Bubble Chart allows you to visualize data in 3 dimensions. Similar to Scatter Chart, the x and y parameters determine the bubble's position on X and Y Axis respectively. However, the size of the marker depends on the third parameter z. One major difference in bubble from other charts is that size of the bubble is not linearly proportional to the z value.
