class: BubbleLegend

class BubbleLegend(**kwargs)

The bubble legend is an additional element in legend which presents the scale of the bubble series.

Individual bubble ranges can be defined by user or calculated from series. In the case of automatically calculated ranges, a 1px margin of error is permitted.

Class Inheritance

copy(other=None, overwrite=True, **kwargs)

Copy the configuration settings from this instance to the other instance.

Parameters:

• other (HighchartsMeta) – The target instance to which the properties of this instance should be copied. If None, will create a new instance and populate it with properties copied from self. Defaults to None.

• kwargs – Additional keyword arguments. Some special descendents of HighchartsMeta may have special implementations of this method which rely on additional keyword arguments.

Returns:

A mutated version of other with new property values
