Sparkline Overview
The Sparkline is a very small chart, drawn without axes, coordinates, legends, titles or other chart-specific elements.
Generally, Sparklines are simple, word-sized graphics that can be embedded in tables, headlines, or chunks of text. The concept for their graphical representation was developed by Edward Tufte. The Kendo UI Sparkline is a version of the Kendo UI Chart which is tailored for this specific application. While the standard Kendo UI Chart component behaves like a block element, due to its rendering inside a div
element to allow for an easy embedding in texts, the Sparkline behaves like an inline element due to its rendering inside a span
element.
While, typically, Sparklines are line charts, they can also be rendered as the following Chart types:
- Line
- Bar
- Column
- Area
- Pie
- Bullet
The Sparkline wrapper for Vue is a client-side wrapper for the Kendo UI Sparkline widget.
The Sparkline supports all configuration options that are applicable for the Categorical series type of the Chart.
