Hi Erdenebayar,  

thanks for these mockups, I think I understand what you're getting at. I'm still not entirely convinced this is a useful way to represent the information, as it gives the visual impression of breaking down a whole into several components while those really only represent one page of the breakdown. There is also no way to compare across pages. My feeling would be that using a tree map could be a way to still get all the items on one page. 

If you want to patch up the bubble tree, however, here's the code repo: https://github.com/okfn/bubbletree

Cheers,

There is, however, no built-in facility to do pagination on the bubble tree, but I'm not sure there should be: the point of the bubble tree is to show the proportions of all of the items in a budget (or some other financial document). Spreading that across several pages may make such a comparison harder.

So we've decided to apply the UN's COFOG codes to make an artificial, high-level breakdown. This reduces it to 9 top-level bubbles and makes the graphic much easier to read.
