Tufte's Sparklines?=B2 They are a great and innovative thing in my mind; both in the information mediating and the typographic sense. There's a bare-bones LaTeX package on CTAN, but when I think about it, this technique could find a perfect place in ConTeXt's framework (say MetaPost, XML, Scripting and so on. There's even some kind of Ruby implementation=B3). - Tobias =B2 http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=3D0001OR&top= ic_id=3D1 =B3 http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/sparklinesForMinimalists.html
