+
+A library for generating small unmarked graphs (sparklines).
+
+Can be used to write an image to a file or make a web service with Rails or other Ruby CGI apps.
+
+Idea and much of the outline for the source lifted directly from {Joe Gregorio's Python Sparklines web service script}[http://bitworking.org/projects/sparklines].
+
+Requires the RMagick image library.
+
+==Authors
+
+{Dan Nugent}[mailto:nugend@gmail.com] Original port from Python Sparklines library.
+
+{Geoffrey Grosenbach}[mailto:boss@topfunky.com] -- http://nubyonrails.topfunky.com 
+-- Conversion to module and further maintenance.
+
+==General Usage and Defaults
+
+To use in a script:
+
+	require 'rubygems'
+	require 'sparklines'
+	Sparklines.plot([1,25,33,46,89,90,85,77,42], 
+	                :type => 'discrete', 
+	                :height => 20)
+
+An image blob will be returned which you can print, write to STDOUT, etc.
+
+For use with Ruby on Rails, see the sparklines plugin:
+
+  http://nubyonrails.com/pages/sparklines
+
+In your view, call it like this:
+
+  <%= sparkline_tag [1,2,3,4,5,6] %>
+
+Or specify details:
+
+  <%= sparkline_tag [1,2,3,4,5,6], 
+                    :type => 'discrete', 
+                    :height => 10, 
+                    :upper => 80, 
+                    :above_color => 'green', 
+                    :below_color => 'blue' %>
+
+Graph types:
+
+ area
+ discrete
+ pie
+ smooth
+ bar
+ bullet
+ whisker
+
+General Defaults:
+
+ :type              => 'smooth'
+ :height            => 14px
+ :upper             => 50
