BubbleChart3D

BubbleChart3D[{{x₁, y₁, z₁, u₁}, {x₂, y₂, z₂, u₂}, ...}]
makes a 3D bubble chart with bubbles at positions {x_i, y_i, z_i} with sizes u_i.

BubbleChart3D[{..., w_i[{x_i, y_i, z_i, u_i}, ...], ..., w_j[{x_j, y_j, z_j, u_j}, ...], ...}]
makes a 3D bubble chart with bubble features defined by the symbolic wrappers w_k.

BubbleChart3D[{data₁, data₂, ...}]
makes a 3D bubble chart from multiple datasets data_i.

MORE INFORMATION

Data elements for BubbleChart3D can be given in the following forms:

	{x_i,y_i,z_i,u_i}	a pure bubble value
	w_i[{x_i,y_i,z_i,u_i},...]	a bubble with value {x_i, y_i, z_i, u_i} and wrapper w_i
	form_i→m_i	a sector form with metadata m_i

The values u_i should be positive.

Data not given in these forms is ignored in forming the 3D bubble chart.

Data sets for BubbleChart3D can be given in the following forms:

	{e₁,e₂,...}	list of elements with or without wrappers
	w[{e₁,e₂,...},...]	wrapper applied to a whole data set
	w[{data₁,data₁,...},...]	wrapper applied to all datasets

The following wrappers can be used for chart elements:

	Annotation[e,label]	provide an annotation
	Button[e,action]	define an action to execute when the element is clicked
	EventHandler[e,...]	define a general event handler for the element
	Hyperlink[e,uri]	make the element act as a hyperlink
	Labeled[e,...]	display the element with labeling
	Legended[e,...]	include features of the element in a chart legend
	Mouseover[e,over]	make the element show a mouseover form
	PopupWindow[e,cont]	attach a popup window to the element
	StatusArea[e,label]	display in the status area when the element is moused over
	Style[e,opts]	show the element using the specified styles
	Tooltip[e,label]	attach an arbitrary tooltip to the element

In BubbleChart3D, Labeled and Placed allow the following positions:

	Top,Bottom,Left,Right,Center, Front,Back	positions within bubbles
	Above,Below, Before, After	positions outside bubbles
	{{b_x,b_y,b_z},{l_x,l_y}}	scaled position {l_x, l_y} in the label at scaled position {b_x, b_y, b_z} in the bubble

BubbleChart3D has the same options as Graphics3D with the following additions and changes:

Axes	True	whether to draw axes
AxesEdge	{{-1, -1}, {1, -1}, {-1, -1}}	on which edges to put axes
Boxed	{Left,Bottom,Back}	what faces to draw on a bounding box
BoxRatios	{1,1,1}	bounding 3D box ratios
BubbleScale	"Volume"	size feature used for bubbles
BubbleSizes	Automatic	size range to use for bubbles
ChartBaseStyle	Automatic	overall style for bubbles
ChartElementFunction	Automatic	how to generate raw graphics for bubbles
ChartElements	Automatic	graphics to use for each of the bubbles
ChartLabels	None	labels for data elements and datasets
ChartLegends	None	legends for data elements and datasets
ChartStyle	Automatic	style for bubbles
ColorFunction	Automatic	how to color bubbles
ColorFunctionScaling	True	whether to normalize the arguments for ColorFunction
FaceGrids	Automatic	grid lines to draw on the bounding box
LabelingFunction	Automatic	how to label bubbles
LegendAppearance	Automatic	overall appearance of legends
Lighting	"Neutral"	simulated light sources to use
PerformanceGoal	$PerformanceGoal	aspects of performance to try to optimize

With the setting ChartElements->g, the graphic g will be used to form pictorial bubbles consisting of stretched versions of g.

The arguments supplied to ChartElementFunction are the bubble region {{x_min,x_max},{y_min,y_max},{z_min,z_max}}, the values {x_i, y_i, z_i, u_i} and the metadata {m₁, m₂, ...} from each level in a nested list of datasets.

A list of built-in settings for ChartElementFunction can be obtained from ChartElementData["BubbleChart3D"].

The arguments supplied to ColorFunction are x, y, z and u.

Style and other specifications from options and other constructs in BubbleChart are effectively applied in the order ChartStyle, ColorFunction, Style and other wrappers, ChartElements and ChartElementFunction, with later specifications overriding earlier ones.
