Edward Tufte one-day course, Presenting Data and Information |
A sparkline is a small intense, simple, word-sized graphic with typographic resolution.
Sparklines mean that graphics are no longer cartoonish special occasions with captions and boxes,
but rather sparkline graphics can be everywhere a word or number can be: embedded in a sentence,
table, headline, map, spreadsheet, graphic. Data graphics should have the resolution of typography.
See Edward Tufte, Beautiful Evidence, 46-63.
