Worldmap panel dot size algorithm uses radius instead of area
Merchants using the Worldmap panel in Grafana find that the dot sizes do not accurately represent the underlying data values. The current algorithm makes the circle radius proportional to the value, so the area becomes proportional to the square of the value, making mid-range dots appear the same size as low-range dots. Users have no easy way to control or fix this behavior, as the sizing is hard-coded in the plugin.

I’d like the middle-range dots to be really visibly middle-sized.
The size of the dots is hard coded in the plugin. I’m sure that the simple algorithm for calculating the relative size of circles could be improved but there is no easy way for you to control it unfortunately.
