SPARKLINE: Stata module for sparkline-type plots

Nicholas Cox

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: sparkline graphs sparkline-type plots for one or more y variables against a single x variable. Typically, plots for different y variables or for different subsets of one y variable are stacked vertically into one image. Commonly, but not necessarily, such plots are multiple time series, so that the x variable is a time variable. sparkline takes its name from the discussion in E.R. Tufte's 2006 book Beautiful evidence. Graphics Press, Cheshire, CT, pp.44-63.
