Sankey diagram

Create Sankey diagrams to show flow quantities between nodes in BeCharts.

Back to Chart types.

Sankey diagrams visualize flows between stages or entities, where link width encodes quantity. For a guided maker page with templates, FAQs, and export options, see the Sankey diagram maker.

Data format

  • nodes: list of nodes (name/id)
