[[!template id=plugin name=sparkline author="[[Joey]]"]] [[!tag type/widget]] This plugin provides the [[ikiwiki/directive/sparkline]] [[ikiwiki/directive]], which allows for easily embedding sparklines into wiki pages. A sparkline is a small word-size graphic chart, that is designed to be displayed alongside text. # requirements The plugin uses the [Sparkline PHP Graphing Library](http://sparkline.org/) as it has better output than the native perl sparkline library. Therefore, to use the plugin, you will need: * The Sparkline PHP Graphing Library, installed in php's path so that php can find it when `sparkline/Sparkline.php` is required. * The GD PHP module used by the Sparkline library. * A "php" program in the path, that can run standalone php programs. * [[!cpan Digest::SHA]] On a Debian system, this can be accomplished by installing these packages: `libsparkline-php` `php5-gd` `php5-cli` `libdigest-sha1-perl`
