Bubble Plot Platform Options
Select Bubbles
Click on a bubble to select it. Note the following:
• Visually, selected bubbles become darker or brighter, and non-selected bubbles are more transparent.
• If the bubble was not filled initially, selection fills it.
• If no bubbles are selected, all of the bubbles are semi-transparent.
When you select a bubble, all of the rows in the data table that correspond to the selected bubble are
highlighted. Note the following:
• If the bubble is an aggregate based on an ID column, all of the rows for that ID are highlighted.
Otherwise, the one row represented by that bubble is highlighted.
• If you specify an ID and a Time variable, selecting a bubble highlights all of the rows for that ID, across
all of the Time levels.
If you select a row from the data table, it is selected in the associated bubble plot. Note the following:
• If you have not specified a Time variable, selecting one row from the data table highlights the
corresponding bubble in the plot.
• If you have specified a Time variable, selecting one row from the data table highlights the corresponding
bubble for only that time period in the dynamic bubble plot.
Use the Brush Tool
Use the brush tool to temporarily select bubbles and obtain more information about the selected
bubbles. For dynamic bubble plots, turn on the Trail Bubbles or the Trail Lines option to show the selected
bubbles during animation. When you select bubbles with the brush tool, the corresponding rows are
highlighted in the associated data table.
Note: For a more granular examination of the highlighted rows, use the Tables > Subset command or the
Row Editor. See the Using JMP book.
