Highcharts Chart Bubble Resizing

Question

When displaying a Highcharts bubble chart, the bubbles resize as bubbles are added/removed to the chart (each bubble is sized relative to all visible bubbles). Is there a way to set the max/min bubble range for the chart so that the bubbles are sized relative to those dimensions, allowing them to stay the same size as bubbles are added/removed from the chart?

Here are some bubbles:

Here, a bubble is added -- which becomes the new smallest bubble (brown) -- causing the purple and turquoise bubbles (smallest in the first image) to resize larger.

I'm sorry, but why was this down-voted? – Michael Nov 29 '16 at 16:08 — Michael, Nov 29 '16 at 16:08

yes, there's a bubble minSize and maxSize option e.g.

     bubble: {
            minSize:5,
            maxSize:30
     }

you set it in the plotOptions

Thanks. I tried those options. The bubbles will still resize relative to all visible bubbles regardless what those options are defined as. – Michael Aug 13 '15 at 14:56
oh dear. then why have them there? – Rachel Gallen Aug 13 '15 at 14:58
Those options set the max/min size of the bubbles. They work and do what they are designed to do. Those options simply don't address my scenario. – Michael Aug 13 '15 at 15:03
At this moment this is default behaviour of bubble chart. You can post your suggestion in our uservoice here http://highcharts.uservoice.com – Sebastian Bochan Aug 14 '15 at 13:46

According to Sebastian Bochan, this is the default bubble chart behavior. In my opinion, this behavior could be improved.

Thanks,
