I would call the tick marks on the LG site more of a label or marker than a filter. For a filter you'd need more multi-variant data so that you could apply filters to the sparklines. Tufte has got a couple of examples of what I would consider to be "sparkline filtering" in his book "Beautiful Evidence" on pages 54 & 55. There you have a table of sparklines with color filter applied on page 55. And on page 54 he uses the red whisker/tick to indicate if a team was held scoreless.
