Inline graphics that indicate relative value
Sparkmeters are lightweight, inline graphics that give the relative value of an item. They are inspired by Edward Tufte's sparklines. They are designed to be unobtrusive and low information. Unlike sparklines, sparkmeters can't usually stand on their own, but are best used to give the relative value of a group of items (e.g. a list of skills on a resume).
A demo can currently be seen here.
