Sparklines are suggested by Edward Tufte in 'The Visual Display of Quantitative Information' and his other books. For discussion, see: http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0001OR
This code produces a table of sparklines from a matrix of input data, rows are formatted as independent sparklines, and their first, last, max and minimum values are tabulated.
This code is in continuing development and future versions may include multiple lines per axis, acceptable ranges, more flexibility for tabular data, and improved layout.

The code has several limitations, namely that the layout is relative to the window size, and therefore cannot be resized or extended. These will be addressed in future versions
