How to Create JavaScript Bubble Chart — Tutorial for Web Developers

March 3rd, 2020 by Wayde Herman

Making a JS bubble chart is described step by step in this tutorial for web developersHave you ever wanted to create a bubble chart using JavaScript but did not know how? Then this tutorial is for you! Carry on reading to learn more about bubble charts and how we can build them quickly and painlessly.

Bubble charts are an extension of the scatter plot. Most commonly, they display three variables which are expressed as the horizontal distance of the point (x), the vertical distance of the point (y), and the size of the point (z). A bubble chart is a great visualization technique to let users compare data points. When designed well, it can be really eye-catching and engaging.

In this tutorial, I will teach you how to build your very own interactive JS bubble chart and bring it to life through customization. All examples will be available with the full code.

For this “getting started” guide, I have decided to explore the data of the top 30 grossing movies. Let’s look at the amount of money each movie has grossed, the budget, as well as the year of release. A bubble chart is a particularly good choice for the visualization of this dataset as it will allow us to easily compare these three numeric variables in an interesting and beautiful way.
