Sparkline (macro)

TiddlyWiki Community Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Sparklines were invented by Edward Tufte, author of a number of thoughtful and inspiring books on the presentation of visual information. They are described by Tufte as "small, intense, word-like graphics", and are designed to be used inline with ordinary text.

TiddlyWiki's Sparklines macro creates these graphics inline without requiring any image files or server-side processing.

As of TiddlyWiki v2.4.0, this macro has been removed from the default distribution. It is still available from TiddlyWiki Core Plugins.

[edit] Usage

<<sparkline [numbers]>>

The macro accepts space-separated numeric values as parameter.
