Bubble Chart-Quick BI(Quick BI)-阿里云帮助中心

A bubble chart uses bubble position and size in a two-dimensional coordinate system to visualize the relationship between multiple variables. You can add data to a bubble chart and customize its style.

Example

Configure Data

In the Charts section of the component library, find the bubble chart and drag it onto the canvas.

In the Data panel, select a dataset. Then, on the Fields tab, configure the chart's fields as described below.

Field	Description
X-axis/Dimension or Measure	Defines the data for the X-axis. You can use a dimension or measure field. In the example, the Order Amount field determines the position of each bubble on the X-axis.
Y-axis/Measure	Defines the data for the Y-axis. Only measure fields are supported. The X-axis and Y-axis together determine the position of each bubble. In the example, the Profit Amount field determines the position of each bubble on the Y-axis.
Category/Dimension	Groups data by the selected dimension, allowing you to compare the distribution of different categories. In the example, the Region field groups the data by region.
Color/Dimension or Measure	Defines the field that determines bubble color. You can add a dimension or a measure field. Customize bubble colors in the Plotting Area > Color Scheme section of the Style tab. Note This field is configurable only when the Category/Dimension placeholder contains a field. When using a dimension field, each value is assigned a unique color. For example, if you add a region field, bubbles for the Northeast region might be blue. When using a measure field, the color indicates the value's trend. For example, if you add an order quantity field, the bubble color varies from light to dark based on the number of orders. In the example, the Region field is used, so different bubble colors represent different regions.
Shape/Dimension	Specifies the field that determines the bubble shape. Only dimension fields are supported. You can customize the bubble shapes in the Plotting Area > Bubble Style section on the Style tab. Note This field is configurable only when the Category/Dimension placeholder contains a field. In the example, the Product Type field is used, so different bubble shapes represent different product types.
Size/Measure	Specifies the field that determines the bubble size. Only measure fields are supported. The system scales bubbles based on their measure values. In the example, the Order Quantity field determines the bubble size.
Playback Axis/Time Dimension	If your data includes time-based information, you can add a time field here to create an animated bubble chart that evolves over time. This is not used in the example.
Tooltip/Measure	When a report viewer hovers over a bubble, a tooltip appears with more details about that data point, such as the specific value of a measure. You can configure which measures to display in the tooltip. In the example, the Shipping Cost field is added, so the tooltip displays the shipping cost for that data point.

You can also perform the following data operations:

Configure Style

Position and Size

Configure the following component settings:

Alignment (①): Set the component's horizontal alignment. Options include left, center, and right.
Position (②): Set the X and Y coordinates to position the component relative to the top-left corner of the canvas.
Angle (③): Set the rotation angle.
Size (④): Set the width (W) and height (H).
Lock (⑤): Lock the component to prevent resizing.
Opacity (⑥): Set the component's transparency.

Plotting Area

In the Plotting Area, configure the Color Scheme, Bubble Style, and Quadrant. The available settings depend on the fields in the Data panel.

If you add a field to the Shape/Dimension area, the following settings become available:

Parameter	Description
Color Scheme	Sets the overall color palette for the bubbles. You can select a built-in theme and customize the color for individual dimension values. When you configure a metric field in the Color/Dimension or Metric area, you need to set the Data Mapping Range and Color Scheme for the Metric.
Fill Opacity	Sets the opacity of the bubbles.
Bubble Style	Sets the shape style for the bubbles. You can choose from shapes or use an image field. Shape: Assigns a different shape to each dimension value. You can use built-in shapes or upload custom images. Image field: Selects an image field from the dataset to populate the content. The Image field option is available only when the dataset contains a field of the image type (). When you upload a custom image or use an image field, you can also configure the image's shape and display mode.
Bubble Size	Sets the minimum and maximum size for the bubbles.
Show Border	Shows or hides bubble borders.
Show Shadow	Shows or hides bubble shadows.
Quadrant	The Quadrant feature is available when both the X-axis and Y-axis are mapped to measure fields.

If the Shape/Dimension area is empty, the following settings are available:

Parameter	Description
Color Scheme	Sets the overall color palette for the bubbles. You can select a built-in theme and customize the color for individual dimension values. When you configure a metric field in the Color/Dimension or Metric area, you must set the Data Mapping Range and Color Scheme for the Metric.
Fill Opacity	Sets the opacity of the bubbles.
Bubble Style	Sets the shape style for all bubbles in the chart. You can use built-in icons or upload custom images. When you upload a custom image, you can also configure its Shape and display mode.
Bubble Size	Sets the minimum and maximum size for the bubbles.
Show Border	Shows or hides the border of the bubbles.
Show Shadow	Shows or hides the shadow of the bubbles.
Quadrant	You can enable the Quadrant function when both the X-axis and Y-axis fields are measure fields.

Axes

In the Axis area, configure the following settings.

Name	Parameter	Description
X-axis	Show X-axis	Shows or hides the X-axis.
	Show Title and Unit	Controls whether the axis title and unit are displayed on the X-axis.
	Show Axis Label	Shows or hides the X-axis labels. If visible, you can configure the following: If the X-axis is configured with a measure field, you can set the Axis Label Display Format and Text Style. The format can be set to Auto or Custom. Auto (Default): The axis label inherits the data display format of the measure field. In Custom mode, click the icon to open the Data Display Format Settings dialog box and configure the format. For more information, see Data Display Format > Custom. If the X-axis is configured with a dimension field, you can only configure the text style of the label.
	Show Tick Line	Shows or hides the tick lines on the X-axis.
	Show Axis Line	Shows or hides the axis line. You can configure its style, width, and color.
	Show Grid Line	Shows or hides the grid lines for the X-axis. You can configure their style, width, and color.
	Axis Range and Interval	Sets the value range (maximum and minimum) and the interval between ticks on the X-axis. Maximum: Sets the maximum value of the X-axis. The default is Auto. A custom value is ignored if it is less than the maximum value in the data. Minimum: Sets the minimum value of the X-axis. The default is Auto. A custom value is ignored if it is greater than the minimum value in the data. Custom Interval: Sets the interval between ticks on the X-axis. You can set it By Step Value or By Number of Ticks. By Step Value: Manually enter the value difference between adjacent ticks. By Number of Ticks: Divides the axis into a specified number of equal parts. The system automatically distributes the ticks evenly based on this number.
Left Y-axis	Show Left Y-axis	Shows or hides the left Y-axis.
	Show Title and Unit	You can set the position of the Axis Title and Unit to Outside the axis or Above the axis.
	Show Axis Label	Shows or hides the labels on the left Y-axis. If shown, you can set the Axis Label Display Format and Text Style. The format can be set to Auto or Custom. Auto is the default. In this mode, the axis label inherits the data display format settings of the Y-axis measure field. In Custom mode, click the icon to open the Data Display Format Settings dialog box and configure the format. For more information, see Data Display Format > Custom.
	Show Tick Line	Shows or hides the tick lines on the left Y-axis.
	Show Axis Line	Shows or hides the axis line. You can configure its style, width, and color.
	Show Grid Line	Shows or hides the grid lines for the axis. You can configure their style, width, and color.
	Axis Range and Interval	Sets the value range (maximum and minimum) and the interval between ticks on the left Y-axis. Maximum: Sets the maximum value of the left Y-axis. The default is Auto. A custom value will not take effect if it is less than the maximum value of the measure field. Minimum: Sets the minimum value of the left Y-axis. The default is Auto. A custom value will not take effect if it is greater than the minimum value of the measure field. Custom Interval: Sets the interval between ticks on the left Y-axis. You can set it By Step Value or By Number of Ticks. By Step Value: Manually enter the value difference between adjacent ticks. By Number of Ticks: Divides the axis into a specified number of equal parts. The system automatically distributes the ticks evenly based on this number.
