Make Better Sankey Diagrams from Data

SmartDraw lets you make beautiful, professional looking charts and graphs for your next report or presentation. Simply import your data and choose your graph type.

Sankey diagrams let you visualize multiple inputs where the width of the flow or arrows represent the relative magnitude of that resource or material in the system. They were originally created and named after an Irish engineer who wanted to illustrate steam engine flows.
