A Continuously variable proportional circle map utilizes circles to portray the size of the value point. A circle will be proportional to the size of the data for a specific variable. Information can be given within the circle as a pie chart. from http://katieschoettler.blogspot.com/2010/04/continuously-variable-proportional.html
