Variable sized scatter plots is a feature which was easy to implement, but Chaco had been lacking for far too long. Now you can create nice bubble charts, or whatever else you dream up. This was added at the last minute to the latest Chaco and ETS release, and I didn’t want to break anything, so its not yet integrated as well as I’d like it. Have a look at the example in advanced/variable_size_scatter.py to see how to implement it in your own plots. There is a debate in the office if the screenshot is of Champagne or bubblegum bubbles, what do you think?

New Chaco feature: variable sized scatter plots
Up Next: Step-by-step Chaco
We got a lot of great feedback from the folks who joined June’s Scientific Computing with Python webinar. Many attendees were very impressed by Chaco and there was a resounding request for a closer look into this 2D plotting tool. So July’s webinar will offer a practical, step-by-step Chaco demonstration.
Also, we’ve put up a schedule of future SCP webinars that takes us into 2010. We really like this series and the exposure it brings to the powerful visualization and analysis tools Python offers scientists. We encourage you to tell your friends and colleagues we have the ability to host up to 1001 guests at these events! Don’t forget that if you miss the meeting, we make our recordings available on our website and and our slides are published at Slideshare.
