General sparklines question:
We're considering implementing sparklines in some of our forms, where we currently are implementing various DataViz charts (e.g. line, bar, area, etc.). One thing that's been pointed out is that we can implement spark lines in a way now by rendering a small regular chart configured without the axes or grid lines visible.
Besides some visual differences, are there any performance/overhead differences between sparklines and full charts? Or do they pretty much use the same engine for rendering?

Hello,

Sparklines indeed do share the same rendering as the normal charts. Their themes are simpler and optimized for small size, but that's about it.
That said, we'll be adding support for canvas rendering in the near future. This will be a great match for the sparklines, especially when performance is critical (e.g. mobile).
