	Tufte Sparklines Photoshop Script
		A sparkline is a small line graph designed to be used in-line within text to illustrate a time series; the concept was developed by data presentation guru Edward Tufte.
		One advantage of sparklines' compactness is that several can be used together to allow at-a-glance comparison between a set of time series.
		Sparklines are tangentially related to photography - they are used alongside images as a graphical design element in qualitative and quantitative analysis.

		Sparklines are perfectly suited for management reporting and analysis purposes as opposed to popular metaphors such as gauges and speedometers which are often misused in management cockpits.
		By using sparklines for their management reporting endless presentations of slides have been reduced to discussions about a single piece of paper.
		Sparklines are also available in vector-oriented Enhanced Metafile format which allows for scaling, ungrouping, and modification.

	Sparklines in data: URIs in Python \| 2005-04-25 \| BitWorking (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Embedding sparklines in that report output sounds like a perfect application of "data: URIs" [RFC 2397], which allow you to take small bits of data, like small images, and instead of serving them up seperately, you embed the data right into the URI.
		Making the sparklines turned out to be incredibly easy, making me think that the reason there wasn't any libraries is that it's just so easy to glue the right pieces together in Python that a library would be overkill.
		Here is the code that generated that sparkline, which not only generates the 'img' element but also prints the minimum point and the last data value in colors that match the corresponding points in the sparkline.

		The "shape_specific_divs" table maps the type of sparkline, either smooth or discrete, to the divs that contain the controls that are specific to each type of sparkline.

	Ask E.T.: Sparklines: theory and practice
		In the opening example to the sparkline chapter, a gray band is used to signal normal limits; thus when the sparkline peaks above or below the horizon of the gray band the glucose is critically elevated or critically reduced.
		For sparklines, the idea is to maintain the wordlike quality: the resolution of words, and the ability to fit into sentences as wordlike elements, into tables as table entries, into spreadsheets as cell entries.
		Sparklines resemble fractals, in the sense that the form and visual texture of sparklines remain the same as the resolution scale changes.

		The sparkline sits at the end of the post…the previous posts it references is marked in this timeline (sparkline) even though you can find them in the post, but having them in the sparkline shows how the overall big picture is evolving.
		Another great value for a sparkline, besides a timeline of an idea/concept, is the simple retro annotating it does…this is handy for posts that are out of date.
		A sparkline could do this, but this is even simpler than a sparkline, it would be a plugin that would automatically put a link in an old post to the current post, but only if it was told to do so.

		What I really need to know is how easily people can install it (i.e., do most people have the required setup to support sparklines, and if not, how easily can I check end user's configurations to let them know what they need?).
		I took a quick look at adding/installing the sparkline libraries to my server and found them to be quite easy to install.
		I think, if possible, it would be nice to distribute the sparkline libraries with the Pepper.

		As a matter of interest, I tried a version that produced RLE4 -compressed bitmaps (the sparklines are well-suited to that, since they skip every other row and thus always let us combine every two pixels).
		I did try implementing the Up() filter which does a line-by-line delta (good since there’s lots of vertical redundancy in these sparklines), but the compressed data actually got bigger in my little test case (!), so I abandoned it.
		As a red Tufte disciple, I find myself prostate to this sparkline development.
