I've Been Thinking About This... » PHP http://steve.gwilt.org/blog Random Brain Coruscations Wed, 15 Jun 2011 19:58:42 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= Sparklines http://steve.gwilt.org/blog/2009/05/08/sparklines/ http://steve.gwilt.org/blog/2009/05/08/sparklines/#comments Sat, 09 May 2009 01:19:15 +0000 Steve http://steve.gwilt.org/blog/?p=459 I wanted to play around a bit with Sparklines – cool little in-line charts and graphs that run off the jQuery library base. I’d found them several months ago in my regular trawling through the ‘net. So I took some of the CDC stats on N1H1 (aka swine flu) that they Twitter each day, and put this and this little Sparkline together. These are running on this page.

I also liked the Dow Jones Sparkline that they had on the screen, so I wrote a PHP server to get the closing prices from Yahoo! for the last 4 weeks and pass them to a Dow chart like theirs.

Unfortunately WordPress doesn’t let me include server-side scripting, so here’s a screen-capture of it.

I must say I’m pretty chuffed with it all…
