Proportional area chart

[kMutagene]

Description

A Proportional Area Charts are used for comparing proportions (size, quantities, etc.) without the usage of scales. They are therefore only suitable to compare a small set of values, and usually should be combined with text annotations displaying the value [1, 2].

Example:

Pointers

• Ideally, you start prototyping in a scripting or notebook environment where you can iterate fast. installation instructions can be found here: https://plotly.net/#Installation
• Charts like this that are using baseline trace types to create a new chart type should only be implemented in the top-level Chart API. An example where this is already done is the Range chart that combines a set of differently styled line charts.

Hints (click to expand if you need additional pointers)

• This chart is basically a Bubble Chart with a single dimension (the bubble size). Your chart function should take care of the positioning of the bubbles

Hey @omaus.. Are you still planning to finish this? If not, I would greatly appreciate if you could link what you ended up with during the hackathon (e.g. a script or notebook you worked in) so others can use it as a foundation to tackle this chart. If also do not have anything to link, no worries, please just tell me that this issue is up-for-grabs again. Thanks ❤️

Still planning to end this asap. 😅
