I completely agree with you and probably should have created some better examples. For the sake of completeness I wanted to include a fully functional example in Java of generating sparklines using the JFreeChart library. I chose to use a random data set to simplify the code which ended up producing the spiky profile. Thanks for your feedback Keith.

"To put this idea informally, the aspect ratio should be such that time-series graphics tend toward a lumpy profile (below) rather than a spiky profile (at right)." http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0001OR&topic_id=1 You're sparkline example graphs should probably have less datapoints and instead show a more general trend.
