This example demonstrates multiple ASP.NET AJAX Chart controls, configured as Sparklines Charts. In order to create a Sparkline Chart you must create a regular instance of RadHtmlChart and set its Layout property to Sparkline.
Sparklines behave like inline elements (rendered inside spans) as opposite to standard HtmlCharts which behave like block elements(rendered inside divs), so that they can be easily embedded in text.
Generally a Sparkline is a very small chart, drawn without axes, coordinates, legend, title and other chart's specific elements. Nevertheless some of these elements can be set explicitly to the Sparkline chart (e.g. see the PieCharts Sparklines above).
The type of the series which can be used as Sparklines is as follows:
