Sparkle charts have good information density for displaying data change over time. These are great for viewing and analyzing multiple trends.

Can you provide a link to sparklecharts that would be great for the application?

tangospring commented 9 years ago

Google Chart API, Sparkline PHP Graphing Library, JQuery Sparklines support sparkle charts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkline

An example in layout: http://olehko.altervista.org/images/pdpm06.png

Here is another example illustrating trends in multiple sparkle charts: http://githut.info/ (scroll down to the second screen).

There hasn't been discussion on this, so let's go ahead and close it. We can come back to it later, but it's not applicable for current state of the application.
