Sparklines, the new rage in visualizing information on the web comes, not surprisingly, from the godfather of the medium, Edward Tufte. What are sparklines?
>”Sparklines are data-intense, design-simple, word-sized graphics.”

And here’s how you can make them.
Flash Sparklines - scroll down for actionscript
XAML Sparklines - useful for Vista developers
And if you can’t figure out any of the bad boys above, just use this Web 2.0 app.
Wow, all these new APIs. When I first reported on this back in, hell I forget, I believe the PHP version from James Byers was the only one available.

I have been producing these in excel using the usual graphing functions and they look perfect. They are more dynamic than those I have paid for (such as Bizzants & Bonavista). Just a little FYI before you spend that hard earned cash.
