Bubbleplot in multiple dimensions

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a bubbleplot using some data I have, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I went through the documentation (https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/48005-bubbleplot-multidimensional-scatter-plots), but I don't exactly understand the syntax with the example given there. The function is this:

bubbleplot(x, y, z, siz, col, shape)

This is my code so far:

% loading dataset
load('bubbleplot.mat')

% extracting variables from the table named bubbleplot (the original variables had extremely long names)
Country   = bubbleplot.Country;
Skills    = bubbleplot.AvailabilityofSkills;
Cost      = bubbleplot.CostCompetitiveness;
Location  = bubbleplot.LocationalAdvantage;
Lang_Cult = bubbleplot.Languageandculturalaffinitywithmajormarkets;
Proximity = bubbleplot.Proximitytoselectedmarkets;
Geography = bubbleplot.Geographyofthecountry;
Comptv    = bubbleplot.Competitivenessinothersectorsmanuecommerce;
DigExp    = bubbleplot.DigExports;

I want to now plot a bubble chart with DigExp as my bubble variable, and I also want to label the bubbles by Country. The x, y, z variables can be Skills, Cost and Location. How do I do this? The function

bubblechart(x,y,sz)

can only accommodate two variables, and I might want to incorporate more.

Thanks for all your attention.

Regards,

Saunok

Have you looked into using bubblechart3?
