Sparklines are intense, simple, wordlike graphics (so named by Edward
Tufte). 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, sparklines do not appear in a
dvi-file. Sparklines does not work with pictex.
