• By Range: Shows variation in size relative to the minimum value of a set. The smallest possible size corresponds to the minimum of the visible data points. This is often chosen to highlight internal differences in a data set. To adjust the smallest and largest possible point sizes, use the left and right sliders. In the below example, By Range maximizes the size differences, making them more obvious. Choosing From Zero variation could make all sizes on the chart too similar to offer any analytic value.

• From Zero: Shows variation in size relative to zero. The smallest possible size corresponds to a data value of zero. This is often useful for data sets containing both positive and negative values. To adjust the largest possible point size, use the single slider. In the below example, the data we are analyzing contains both positive and negative values. Note that the smaller sizes correspond to smaller absolute values of data.

Sample Legend

The sample legend is an exact copy of the size legend and appears on the left-side of the edit size dialog. The sample legend immediately shows how the bars or shapes in your chart would appear after Visual Analytics applied your changes.

Range

You can specify a minimum and a maximum for the size legend. If the entered minimum value is greater than the original minimum value, then Visual Analytics appends the modified value with “<” operator and assigns the smallest size to all values below the entered minimum value. If the entered maximum value is less than the original maximum value, then Visual Analytics appends the modified value with “>” operator and assigns the largest size to all values above the entered maximum value.

Reversing the size distribution reverses the assigned sizes from the highest range to the lowest range. This check box is read-only if you have selected the From Zero size vary option.

Size Slider

You can resize bars, lines, or shapes of a chart, based on the measure value or change the thickness uniformly without placing the measure in the Size Deck.

For the Line chart, you can only change the thickness of the lines uniformly. Size Deck support for measure fields is not available for Line chart in this release. To resize the size slider, click Size Deck > Size Slider.
