A sparkline is a specific type of graph used for certain types of data. The wiki page is pretty clear with the uses and limitations.
Not all graphs are created equal, it's important to use the right tool for the job. This tool isnt just a graph generator, it's a spark bar chart generator that's compact enough to fit in the command line. Overall a cool idea.
I feel like I'm being reprimanded. Forgive me if I'm mistaken.

My point is this should be explained _somewhere_. Anybody else unfamiliar with sparklines will now have the benefit of this thread. Previously, to me anyway, it was a mystery.

It is. It was only presented upon my initial query, and am grateful to @IgorPartola for providing!

It is, indeed. My initial note wasn't about the coolness of the project, just "what _is_ the project"? Is clear now. Anybody else who is ignorant about sparklines as I was, enjoy this thread!
