Sankey Chart Node

The Sankey Chart Node visualizes flows and their quantities between different entities, making it ideal for understanding relationships and proportions.

Overview​

This node requires the user to define source and target columns, along with a value column that represents the magnitude of the flow. The chart displays flows as proportional bands connecting sources to targets.

Key Features​

  • Flow visualization: Illustrates relationships and proportions between entities.
  • Customizable appearance: Adjust colors, labels, and layout.
  • Interactive exploration: Hover over flows to view detailed information.
  • Dashboard ready: Integrates seamlessly with dashboards for dynamic analysis.

Required Data​

  • sourceColumn: The source entity column.
  • targetColumn: The target entity column.
  • valueColumn: The column representing flow magnitude.
  • colorBy (optional): Customize flow colors based on categories.
  • nodeWidth, nodePadding, align, sort, log: Additional display options.

How it works​

  1. Add the Sankey Chart Node to your workflow.
  2. Connect your dataset.
  3. Define the source, target, and value columns.
  4. Configure display options as needed.
  5. The node renders a Sankey chart.
