Sankey Diagram

Sankey diagrams are particularly well-suited for displaying inflows and outflows to a quantity.

Since the inflows and outflows are represented by arrows with a thickness proportional to the quantity, energy flows, for example, can be made intuitively understandable.

When should this display be used?

The Sankey diagram should be used when you want to display energy and material flows. Sankey diagrams are excellent for showing how much of the total output is consumed by individual consumers.
