AJAX Control Toolkit Tutorial: Bubble Chart - Part 11

Bubble Chart Control enables you to render bubble charts from one or more series of values. This control is compatible with any browser which supports SVG such as IE 9 and greater.

Bubble chart shows the chart in the form of bubbles, and on mouse hover it also shows a tooltip which is customizable.

Let’s see its initial configuration and output.
