bubblePlot_Styles providing various uses of the core bubblePlot function
Function includes a number of "styles" associated with bubblePlot to create bubble plots depicting a variety of relationships often of interest
to stakeholders. The bubblePlot function itself is adaptable to many representations but is most often used in conjunction with results derived
from summarizeSGP to represent summary level results of growth against achievement (usually, median student growth percentile against percentage
at/above proficient).

bubblePlot_Styles is an omnibus function containing a number of applications of the bubblePlot function with data output from SGP analyses. As added styles are
constructed they will be added to the function allowing user to construct plots of their liking. User wishing to participate and provide or suggest specific styles of their own should
contact the package maintainer. Styles representing summary level data (e.g., growth and achievement for schools) are currently assigned numbers from 1 to 99 and styles representing
individual level data (e.g., growth and achievement for students within a single grade) are currently assigned numbers from 100 to 199.
1: |
Growth and achievement bubblePlots for the entire state with bubbles representing schools. |
100: |
Growth and achievement bubblePlots by grade for students in selected schools and districts. |
Function produces numerous PDF bubble charts in the styles specified by the function.
