You can add a sparkline to a cell using code or the designer.

Using Code

1. Specify a cell to create the sparkline in.
2. Specify a range of cells for the data.
3. Set any properties for the sparkline (such as points and colors).
4. Add the sparkline to the cell.

Example

This example creates a column sparkline in a cell and shows negative and series colors.

FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView sv = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView();
FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange data = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange(sv, 0,0,1, 5);
FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange data2 = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange(sv, 5,0,1,1);
FarPoint.Win.Spread.ExcelSparklineSetting ex = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.ExcelSparklineSetting();
ex.ShowMarkers = true;
ex.ShowNegative = true;
ex.NegativeColor = Color.Red;
// Use with a Column or Winloss type
ex.SeriesColor = Color.Olive;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0] = sv;
sv.Cells[0, 0].Value = 2;
sv.Cells[0, 1].Value = 5;
sv.Cells[0, 2].Value = 4;
sv.Cells[0, 3].Value = -1;
sv.Cells[0, 4].Value = 3;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].AddSparkline(data, data2, FarPoint.Win.Spread.SparklineType.Column, ex);

Dim sv As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView()
Dim data As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange(sv, 0, 0, 1, 5)
Dim data2 As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange(sv, 5, 0, 1, 1)
Dim ex As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.ExcelSparklineSetting()
ex.ShowMarkers = True
ex.ShowNegative = True
ex.NegativeColor = Color.Red
' Use with a Column or Winloss type
ex.SeriesColor = Color.Olive
FpSpread1.Sheets(0) = sv
sv.Cells(0, 0).Value = 2
sv.Cells(0, 1).Value = 5
sv.Cells(0, 2).Value = 4
sv.Cells(0, 3).Value = -1
sv.Cells(0, 4).Value = 3
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).AddSparkline(data, data2, FarPoint.Win.Spread.SparklineType.Column, ex)

Using the Spread Designer

1. Type data in a cell or a column or row of cells in the designer.
2. Select a cell for the sparkline.
3. Select the Insert menu.
4. Select a sparkline type.
5. Set the Data Range in the Edit Sparklines dialog (such as =Sheet1!$E$1:$E$3).
6. Select OK.
7. Select Apply and Exit from the File menu to save your changes and close the designer.
