Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sparklines are intense, simple, wordlike graphics (so named by Edward Tufte). In lieu of a more detailed introduction, Professor Tufte's site has an early release of a chapter on sparklines, see www.edwardtufte.com. A PHP implementation can be found at http://sparkline.sourceforge.net/.
A sparkline can be added using the sparkline-environment. Also, you can add sparkling rectangles for the median and special sparkling dots in red or blue. Only use sparklines with pdflatex, sparklines do not appear in a dvi-file. Sparklines does not work with pictex. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
