===================
Packed-bubble chart
===================
Create a packed-bubble chart to represent scalar data.
The presented algorithm tries to move all bubbles as close to the center of
mass as possible while avoiding some collisions by moving around colliding
objects. In this example we plot the market share of different desktop
browsers.
