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.

The Sparkline Component is part of Kendo UI for Vue, a professional grade UI library with 100+ components for building modern and feature-rich applications. To try it out sign up for a free 30-day trial.
