Something to show whether the hand reached a showdown or not is a great idea. I also think that showing position could be a useful (BB, SB, But.) - however most of the data I have so far are for small tournaments, and once you get down to less than a table full of people, the blinds come around so often that they're almost irrelevant. But were experimenting with ways to show that. I don't know if you read the whole posts, but in addition to the sparkline showing wins and losses, I also had one where [URL="http://www.explanatorium.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/spark_chips2.gif"]the chip stack is shown as well,[/URL] which lets you see whether wins or losses were big or small.

As far as what other applications use this sort of visualization - I'm not sure if there are any poker specific applications that do. I haven't come across any, but there are tons of programs out there (and I'm on a Mac, so very few work for me). This "binary" sparkline is great for showing wins and losses and I've seen some great charts of baseball or basketball seasons summarized the same way. At a glance it lets you see win (or loss) streaks across the season.

If you're really interested, [URL="http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0001OR&topic_id=1"]this would be everything you ever wanted to know about sparklines[/URL] (and different applications for them).
