The Sankey Chart plugin is used to display data as streams and their quantitative values in proportional relation to each other.
Width of lines (streams) is used to display values: the wider is the stream, the greater is its quantitative value. Stream lines can join or split on different chart levels, which allows for visual displaying of values distribution by different categories. Streams and division into categories are also highlighted with different colors using gradient fill.
Sankey charts are handy for displaying distribution of monetary funds or resources, as well as for displaying any system process stream.
Chart dimension elements create start and end stream points, and fact elements create stream weight, its width. Each pair of dimensions creates a chart level. Sankey chart streams are directed from left to right.
NOTE. The plugin is available only in the web application.
