In lieu of a more detailed introduction, Professor Tufte's site +has an early release of a chapter on sparklines, see +www.edwardtufte.com. A PHP implementation can be found at +http://sparkline.sourceforge.net/. + +A sparkline can be added using the sparkline environment. Also, you can +add sparkling rectangles for the median and special sparkling dots in +red or blue. Only use sparklines with pdflatex, or with PostScript +output; sparklines cannot appear in a dvi-file. The sparklines package +uses pgf, and does not work with pictex. It but might work if +pictexwd.sty is used, but that has not been tested. + +Read sparklines.pdf for more details including history. + |
