Set a plot in a sentence
A sparkline among the words, at the height of the text.
The renderers are not tied to a table. Each is an ordinary function returning content, so one sits in a line of prose as readily as in a cell.
// A nanoplot at the size a nanoplot is meant to be. Every coordinate is a
// fraction of the box, so an em size needs no absolute resolution and no
// minimum canvas: these run inline, at the height of the text around them.
#import "@preview/keisen:0.0.1": nanoplot-bar, nanoplot-line, nanoplot-points
#set page(width: auto, height: auto, margin: 0.5cm)
#set text(font: "Libertinus Serif", size: 10pt)
#let series = (3.0, 3.4, 3.1, 4.2, 4.0, 4.9)
Revenue rose through the year #nanoplot-line(series, width: 4em), reading
#nanoplot-points(series, width: 4em) by quarter and
#nanoplot-bar(series, width: 4em) by volume, all at #raw("0.8em").
#set text(size: 16pt)
At a larger text size the plots follow it: #nanoplot-line(series, width: 4em).
The second line is the point: the plots carry no size of their own, so set text(size: ..) moves them with everything else.
Every coordinate is a fraction of the box, so an em size needs no absolute resolution and no minimum canvas, which is what lets a nanoplot be the size a nanoplot is meant to be. stroke: auto and fill: auto follow the surrounding text colour, so a plot inside a styled run is drawn in that run’s ink.
The renderers are drawn with native Typst primitives and come out of the package like everything else, so nothing else is fetched to draw them.
