sparklines
Sparklines is a plotting library to make word-sized data lines as described in Edward Tufte’s Beautiful Evidence.

The examples below do not appear to be working (2011-12-13), see here for another one, and the accompanying source code.

glucose 120

More examples are available.

There is no publicly-available distribution yet, but I will make a common-lisp.net project soon. In the meantime, please contact greg@technomadic.org for more information.
