Bubble Maps Software for Scatter Plot and Circle Charts

Smart Mapping creates bubble maps. A bubble map is a scatter plot whose points have been enlarged to circles, and the diameter refers to a third variable. Smart Mapping draws two basic kinds of bubble charts: with common bubbles and with normalized variables.

Bubble Maps Software for Scatter Plot and Circle Charts

Excel provides the ability to draw bubble maps and scatter plots, but they are less refined than a bubble map you can make with MM4XL software. In Excel:

Chart labels cannot be displayed
Arrows linking bubbles are not available
Changing bubble color is a tedious process
There is no way to automatically rescale quadrants or set the horizontal axis to a mean or median value

The bubble maps tool of MM4XL software helps you overcome these and other limitations and save a lot of time.

Estoy interesado en recibir los cursos de entrenamiento pero se que me sera dificil debido a que mis ingresos no me permiten estos lujos. Ya yo he trabajado con el MM4XL en varias ocasiones haciendo analisis de cartera de negocios, utilizando ambas matrices la BCG y la de Markensi (disculpeme por el error ortografico). Si al menos pudiera obtener de forma gratuita los folletos y el CD me seria de gran ayuda. Como les decia me he valido de estas herramientas para realizar analisis y me resultan muy interesantes y provechosa. Saludos y gracias por este magnifico sofware.

We find your [MM4XL] software interesting. We are keen to pursue this as the computer literacy in India is growing and so are the use of these kinds of tools in the business.

I use a lot of strategic analysis in my courses which deal mainly with turning around distressed or bankrupt firms. I was wasting a lot of time to design "bubble" graphs in my Powerpoint presentations. So, I looked for a "clever" [MM4XL] software doing my job better than me with Excel or even Delta Graph or HarvardXL

This [MM4XL software] looks outstanding! If I were a marketing manager in charge of brand positioning/portfolio analyses/sales, then I would definitely want to subscribe to your site. Plugging in your own company data and producing such outstanding graphs/charts would be a real advantage and enormous time-saver.
