If you love Sankey Diagrams like me, you’ll be interested in how one Visio Guy reader created a very sophisticated flow using simple techniques.
He did it all in Visio, and the result is pretty impressive!
Smart graphics for visual people
I was reading What goes up, must come down! on the Sankey Diagrams blog and it got me thinking about a radial presentation for Sankey diagrams.
Is there a case or need for radially-oriented Sankey diagrams? Is this something the world needs?
We’ve been messing around with our Sankey Diagram Shapes for Visio again–because we just couldn’t resist!
In the download-able Visio file, you’ll find a set of five Sankey arrows pre-wired to a process box.
A Sankey diagram is an interesting visualization that uses the thickness of arrows to depict the flow-volumes in a system. The thicker the arrow, the more flow of energy, mass, or volume. Sankey graphics are easily read and quickly comprehended.
In this article, we’ll explore the creation of Sankey diagrams using Visio, and we’ll offer our own free Visio Sankey diagramming shapes for your downloading and diagramming pleasure!
