Typically used in scenarios involving energy, material, or cost flows, a sankey uses nodes to represent entities and links to depict the flow between them. The width of each link is proportional to the flow quantity, making it easy to visualize the magnitude of relationships within a system.
Nodes: These are essential pillars of your flow, capturing key stages and dynamic entities.
Links: Visualize connections with precision; their thickness reflects the flow’s strength.
Labels: Illuminate your diagram with descriptive text, making complex relationships crystal clear.
Titles: Capture the essence at a glance, with labels to tell your data’s story.
User interaction: Supports interactive features, including tooltips and legend highlights, enhancing user engagement by providing dynamic insights and easy identification of data elements.
Legends: Customizable legends offer additional information about nodes, allowing users to tailor the display for clarity.
Responsive design: Supports an adaptive layout that ensures clarity and usability across different screen sizes and orientations for a seamless user experience.
Mode support: Flexible with horizontal and vertical layout options, allowing users to choose the best orientation for their data presentation.
Print and export: Facilitates easy printing and exporting of the sankey, making it convenient to share and distribute visual insights across various platforms.
