This printer format uses the [[Plugins|jquery.sparkline plugin]] to generated small inline charts (also known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkline 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 {{#ask: [[has category::charts]]|?has description|limit=0|searchlabel=other chart formats}}.

== Parameters ==
{{#smwdoc:sparkline}}

For better inline alignment with the surrounded text, one can use a class parameter to assign a css class (see example below).
<pre>
.demo-center {
 display: inline-block;
}
</pre> 

==Usage ==
Parameter [charttype] (pie, line, bar, discrete) determines the chart type.
<pre>
{{#ask:[[Has value::+]]   
|?Has value  
|format=sparkline                
|link=all                   
|headers=show   
|charttype=pie
|class=demo-center
}}
