In this quick start, you'll learn how to add the BubbleChart widget to an HTML project using HTML markup and jQuery script.

  1. To create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor, add the following code and save the document with an .html extension.

    Drop down and copy markup

    Paste in your favorite text editor.
    Copy Code
    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <HTML>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </HTML>
    
  2. Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn.

    Drop down and copy references to paste inside the head tags

    References
    Copy Code
    <!--Theme-->
    <link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/themes/aristo/jquery-wijmo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    
    <!--Wijmo Widgets CSS-->
    <link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/jquery.wijmo-pro.all.3.20183.140.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    
    <!--RequireJs-->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/external/require.js"></script>
  3. Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. The <div> element creates the widget, and we call its id attribute in jQuery to initialize it.

    Drop down and copy markup to paste inside the body tags

    Markup
    Copy Code
    <div id="wijbubblechart" style="width: 400px; height: 300px">
    </div>
  4. Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to initialize the widget and set several widget options.
    • The showChartLabels option is set to false so that Y1 values on each bubble don't clutter the chart.
    • The X and Y axes are set to show title text.
    • The tooltip (hint) content is set to show data labels.
    • The header displays title text.
    • Labels, data, and marker types for six countries are added to the seriesList.
    • Each set of data uses a different marker type. See seriesList markers type for more information.

    Drop down and copy script to paste inside the head tags

    Script

    <script id="scriptInit" type="text/javascript">
        require(["wijmo.wijbubblechart"], function () {
            $(document).ready(function () {
                $("#wijbubblechart").wijbubblechart({

                    seriesList: [
                    {
                        label: "China",
                        data: { y: [73], x: [7931], y1: [1340] },
                        markers: {type: "tri"}

                        data: { y: [78], x: [42066], y1: [309] },
                        markers: {type: "circle"}

                        label: "Japan",
                        data: { y: [83], x: [30866], y1: [126] },
                        markers: {type: "cross"}
                    }, {

                });

  5. Save your HTML file and open it in a browser. The widget appears like the following live widget.
