Sparklines
Data variables
: 1 x quantitative-interval, 1 x quantitative-ratio.
Visual variables
: Position, slope.
Description
: Sparklines aren't necessarily a variation on the line chart, rather,
a clever use of them. They were conceived by Edward Tufte and are described
as "intense, word-sized graphics". They take advantage of our visual perception
capabilities to discriminate changes even at such a low resolution in terms of size.
They facilitate opportunities to construct particularly dense visual displays of
data in small space and so are particularly applicable for use on dashboards.
