The bubble sizes in the bubble chart appear to be relative to the radius parameter. This is ok for a single chart, but when creating multiple bubble charts it becomes impossible to compare the bubble sizes across the charts. This is because the largest radius value for each single chart is mapped to the same absolute bubble size.
Is there a way to make the radius value be treated as an absolute size indicator? I know that I then will have to make my own scaling logic to have "nice" bubble sizes, but I can then use the same scaling across all the charts based on the overall largest radius.
Hi Mikael,
Don't set the BubbleSeries' RadiusScale. When the radius scale is not set, each bubble’s size is equal to the value of the RadiusMemberPath column.
Here a link to the Bubble Size Scale Feature:http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/DV/2011.2/CLR4.0/?page=xamDataChart_Scatter_Bubble_Series.html

Thanks for the tip, but it appears that the link you provide applies to the xamDataChart only. I am using xamWebChart, and I am not able to find anything similar to the RadiusScale for this component.
HI,
I tested this and if the datasources of the two charts have the same minimum and maximum radius values, the bubbles sizes appeared to be the same.
Since the XamWebChart is going to be retired, you should consider using the XamDataChart.

Please let me know if you need further assistance regarding this post?
Nothing more to do about this then. Case closed.
