How do I do a scatter plot in Kibana?

The product description says I can:  
"To better understand large volumes of data, easily create bar charts, line and scatter plots, histograms, pie charts, and maps." [https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana](https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana) but I can't find any mention of it in the visualize dashboard?

Many thanks!

It's tricky - you need to do a line graph - go to the options and remove the lines (make sure you keep the dots). Then add another Y aggregation that control the size of the dot (it's actually a Z aggregation)
