The bubble plots shown on the example page, <a href="http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/ex/scale.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, aren't great, but I suppose they could be made better w/o too much effort. I know that <a href="http://www.jmp.com/software/jmp8/gallery/" rel="nofollow">JMP (3rd slide in)</a>, from SAS, has an excellent bubble chart tool, which includes the ability to easily animate a bubble plot over time. They did a pretty good job copying Hans Rosling's creation. You can get a shrink wrap copy of JMP for $750. If you're a student somewhere, you can pick it up for a lot less. Google also has a bubble plot tool, which is free and can be found <a href="http://www.google.com/ig/directory?url=www.google.com/ig/modules/motionchart.xml" rel="nofollow">here</a> Hi Ralph,
