I am trying to create an easy legend with bubbles for a Bubblechart.

The legend should have the BubbleSizes -> {.02, .05}, for the scores 3 to 8 and ranging with the rainbow colors. Basically this but with bubbles of increasing size, instead of squares: enter image description here

Is there any easy way to do this???

This is my code right now: 

legend2 = 
 BarLegend[{"Rainbow", {3, 8}}, 5, 
  LegendLabel -> Style["Happiness Score", 16], LegendLayout -> "Row"]

$\begingroup$ 
dt = Range[3, 8];

SwatchLegend[ColorData["Rainbow"] /@ Rescale[dt], 
  dt, 
  LegendLabel -> Style["Happiness Score", 16], 
  LegendLayout -> {"Row", 1}, LegendMarkers -> "Bubble", 
  LegendMarkerSize -> 5 dt]

enter image description here

Change the second argument from dt to Rescale[dt, MinMax@dt, {.02, .05}] to change the labels:

    $\begingroup$ Can also use PointLegend and omit LegendMarkers. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Is there a way to make the numbers smaller? LegendMarkerSize only changes the size of the bubbles $\endgroup$
