Sparkline in unicode
Sparkline in unicode is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
A sparkline is a graph of successive values laid out horizontally where the height of the line is proportional to the values in succession.
Use the following series of Unicode characters to create a program that takes a series of numbers separated by one or more whitespace or comma characters and generates a sparkline-type bar graph of the values on a single line of output.
The eight characters: '▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█'
(Unicode values U+2581 through U+2588).
Use your program to show sparklines for the following input, here on this page:
- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
- 1.5, 0.5 3.5, 2.5 5.5, 4.5 7.5, 6.5
- (note the mix of separators in this second case)!
- Notes
- A space is not part of the generated sparkline.
- The sparkline may be accompanied by simple statistics of the data such as its range.
Python
