Well, neat, but why would sampler call a series of vertical bars sparklines?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkline

In 2006, the term sparkline itself was introduced by Edward Tufte for "small, high resolution graphics embedded [inline] in a context of words, numbers, images". Tufte described sparklines as "data-intense, design-simple, word-sized graphics".

See the Usage section for an example.
