Sankey Chart

A Sankey Diagram is a visualisation technique that allows to display flows. Several entities (nodes) are represented by rectangles or text. Their links are represented with arrows or arcs that have a width proportional to the importance of the flow. Note that an Alluvial diagram is a sub category of Sankey diagrams where nodes are grouped in vertical nodes (sometimes called steps).
