Bubble Chart Pro 5.3 for Mac and Windows adds zoom-boxes to its 3-D bubble charts to let managers isolate and display small selections of bubbles by drawing a rectangle on the chart that contains those bubbles.

Thus, zoom-boxes offer a way to “zoom-in” on a specific area of a bubble chart. This latest release of Bubble Chart Pro also increases the size and resolution of some export charts, and adds some additional preferences for customizing chart displays.

Bubble Chart Pro with 3D bubble charts comes in three editions. Bubble Chart Pro Basic is the basic full-featured bubble charting application. Bubble Chart Pro Plus includes a Smart prioritizer for prioritizing or ranking projects, project bar charts, and an executive dashboard. Bubble Chart Pro Optimal adds a quantitative optimizer for finding an optimized portfolio of projects that will deliver the maximum value when the business doesn’t have enough capital, resources, or risk tolerance to do all the projects in its portfolio.

Bubble Chart Pro starts at US$149.97. A demo is available at the Bubble Chart website (http://www.bubblechartpro.com).
