A Column chart displays a column on each shape/area or point, with column heights representing the absolute value of the assigned "Chart/size value" measure. A Circle chart displays a circle on each chart element, with the size of the circle representing the "Chart/size value" measure. A Bubble chart displays a circle that contains the label text, with the size of the bubble representing the "Chart/size value" measure.
Chart max height or chart max radius - Maximum height (for column charts) or radius (for circle charts). Chart heights or radii will be scaled according to the "Chart/size value" measure, ranging from 0 to the maximum height/radius.
