Hello:

I am using Splus 2000 under NT 4.0.

It's possible to do bubble plots using the menus, and I'm able to vary the
symbols on plots according to levels of a variable, but I REALLY want to do
the following:

I want to plot x vs y, varying symbols by treatment group, say, square,
triangle, circle.
(This alone would be easy)
Also, I want to vary the size (area, I guess) of each symbol--no matter
which type--according to the value of another continuous variable, z.
(This alone would be a bubble plot)

I guess there would be problems with such a fugure, comparing areas of
triangles and circles, but suppose I'm only interested in comparing within
figure types, but I still want all three treatments plotted on the same set
of axes.

Is this possible in Splus?  Thanks in advance...
