The software allows you to create sparkline graphs, which are small line charts that show trends over time. It's a great tool for quickly summarizing data in a visual format.
If you're looking for a way to create sparkline graphs in Perl, GD::Graph::sparklines is a module worth checking out. Using this module is easy-- just include it in your code with "use GD::Graph::sparklines;" and make use of the GD::Graph infrastructure to create a sparkline of your data. Simply replace "use GD::Graph::lines" with "use GD::Graph::sparklines" and your graph should be good to go (as long as you haven't used any complicated options).
One thing to note is that GD::Graph::sparklines started out as a simple wrapper for GD::Graph::lines, but it evolved into something more complicated due to difficulties with getting graph sizing right without the use of subclassing and overridden methods. It's worth keeping this in mind if you encounter any issues while using the module.
All in all, if you need to make sparkline graphs in Perl, GD::Graph::sparklines is a reliable and simple way to do so that can be added to your project with very little hassle.
