This printer format uses the jquery.sparkline plugin to generated small inline charts (also known as sparklines) directly into a text.
This format is mainly used to enhance inline text with information such as trends etc. which can be easily incorporated graphically without causing an overall distraction of the reading process. For more graphical enriched representations, one might consider other chart formats.

| distribution | ⧼validator-type-boolean⧽ | no | Instead of displaying all values, count their occurrences, and show these. |
| distributionsort | ⧼validator-type-string⧽ | none | Sort the value distribution by occurrence count. |
| distributionlimit | ⧼validator-type-integer⧽ | no | Limit the value distribution to the count of only some values. |

}
Usage
Parameter [charttype] (pie, line, bar, discrete) determines the chart type.
{{#ask:[[Has value::+]]
|?Has value
|format=sparkline
|link=all
|headers=show
|charttype=pie
|class=demo-center
}}
Examples
Property "Namespace" has a restricted application area and cannot be used as annotation property by a user.Property "Docinfo editor" (as page type) with input value "User:>MWJames" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.
