I found a JQuery plugin which allows you to put tiny in-line graphs and charts into your HTML with “one line of Javascript”. (For the picky people, no this is not counting all of your data prep work and initialization of JQuery). Very clean and very configurable, lots of options.
I would’ve really liked to put an example in this post, but it seems my <script> tags get gobbled up by WordPress. So you get this link with a bunch of really cool examples. My favorite is the “Mouse Speed” example.



This is great. I don’t know how useful the 10px high graphs and charts would be, but the widget lets you specify any pixel height. I could see these being very useful.
I like the 10px high charts. They are called sparklines and they are nice when used correctly.
Google Analytics uses little charts like that all over the place.
