Table of Contents

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.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
distribution	yes/no	no	Instead of displaying all values, count their occurrences, and show these.
distributionsort	text	none	Sort the value distribution by occurrence count.
distributionlimit	whole number	no	Limit the value distribution to the count of only some values.
aggregation	text	subject	Specify to what the aggregation should relate to
min	whole number	no	The minimum value to show on the Y-axis
charttype	text	bar	Available chart type
class	text	empty	Specify an additional cascading style sheet class

For better inline alignment with the surrounded text, one can use a class parameter to assign a css class (see example below).

.demo-center {
 display: inline-block;
}

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
}}
