Sparkline

Sparklines, also called Sparklines, be used to explain figures graphically in a text -saving way to court. In the form of a highly miniaturized (time series) - chart sparklines show the historical development of a numerical value and give it to the context that is important for its interpretation. Designed and named by Edward Tufte introduced the concept, a professor at Yale University.

The advantages of sparklines are:

• The graphics are built directly into the text flow.
• There are minimal row height charts that visualize the texts and their statements.
• In large, space-consuming diagrams are omitted.
