bubbly

Bubbly is a module for plotting interactive and animated bubble charts using Plotly. The animated bubble charts can accomodate six variables in total viz. X-axis, Y-axis, time, dots, their size and their color in a compact and captivating way. The function bubbleplot is easy to use with plenty of customization and returns a figure object that is a dictionary in a suitable format for use with plotly. Bubbly is especially suited for use in Jupyter notebooks and is designed to work with plotly's offline mode such as in Kaggle kernels.
