Why have one boring bubble chart when
you can have 20 multicolor charts?
require 'rubyvis' panes=20 cols=2 p_w=200 p_h=150 #p data w = 20+p_w*cols h = (panes/cols)*10+p_h*(panes/cols) colors20=Rubyvis::Colors.category20() c20=Rubyvis::Colors.category20().by(lambda {|n| n.parent_node}) vis = pv.Panel.new() .width(w) .height(h) .bottom(5) .left(5) .right(5) .top(5) (0..panes).each do |i| n=i%cols m=(i/cols.to_f).floor panel=vis.add(Rubyvis::Panel). left(n*(p_w+10)). top(m*(p_h+10)). width(p_w). height(p_h) d=Rubyvis.nodes((i+1).times.map {|ii| rand(5)+1}) panel.anchor('top').add(Rubyvis::Label).text("n#{i+1}") pack=panel.add(pv.Layout.Pack). nodes(d). size(lambda {|n| n.node_value}) pack.node.add(Rubyvis::Dot). visible( lambda {|n| n.parent_node}). fill_style(lambda {|n| colors20.scale(n.parent_node). brighter((n.node_value) / 5.0) }). stroke_style(c20) pack.node_label.add(Rubyvis::Label). visible( lambda {|n| n.parent_node}). text(lambda {index}) end vis.render(); puts vis.to_svg
