Adding size to scatters
In Scatter visuals, CDP Data Visualization enables you to control the size of the individual bubbles to show variation of a measure more clearly.
This dataset, World Life Expectancy, has several other dimensions and measurements that you can use to enrich the scatter visual. Consider how using the Size shelf, which controls the size of the individual bubbles, changes our immediate understanding of the dataset and represents the relative population size of each country more clearly.
For this visual, we will start with the existing visual World Population - Scatter, which is developed in Basic scatter.
While we can see the average data for individual countries more clearly, these measurements do not help us see the changes that occurred over the entire time domain of the dataset.
Let us next look at how we can add the concept of time back into the visual by animating the scatter plot, as described in Adding transition animation to scatters.
