The Sparkline control is a data-intense, design-simple graphic that allows end users to spot trends, variations and patterns in data in a clear and compact representation. It supports the following chart types: line, column, area, and win-loss, and displays more details using markers, tooltips, normal ranges, and trend lines.

Further information regarding the classes, options, events, methods and themes of this API are available under the associated tabs above.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to initialize the igSparkline control.

//Delegate
$(document).delegate(".selector", "igsparklinedatabinding", function (evt, ui) {
		// Get reference to igSparkline.
		ui.owner;
		
		// Get reference to instance of $.ig.DataSource.

//Delegate
$(document).delegate(".selector", "igsparklinehidetooltip", function (evt, ui) {
    // Get reference to igSparkline.
    ui.owner;
