/**
 * Only Bubble charts use this type of plot. Like all other two-axis plots, it lets users control 
 * the labels displayed for each axis. 
 * 

 * The plot draws an ellipse for each item present in the dataset for a given series. Usually 
 * this is a circle whose radius is specified by the Z value in that chart item. However, the 
 * plot needs to know whether the Z value is proportional to its corresponding X value or to 
 * its corresponding Y value in order to calculate the actual size of the bubble. 
 * 

 * The type of bubble scaling is specified by the scaleType attribute that the plot exposes: 
 * 
 * Range axis scaling: The bubble is a circle with the radius proportional to the Y 
 * value for each item (scaleType="RangeAxis").
 * Domain axis scaling: The bubble is a circle with the radius proportional to the 
 * X value for each item (scaleType="DomainAxis").
 * Scaling on both axes: The bubble is an ellipse with the height proportional to 
 * the Y value and the width proportional to the X value for each item
 * (scaleType="BothAxes").
 * 
 * By default, bubbles scale on the range axis.
