The Flow Unveiled: A Sankey Chart Symphony of Data Dynamics
The Flow Unveiled: A Sankey Chart Symphony of Data Dynamics In the world of data visualization,桑基图（Sankey chart）以其独特而优雅的方式，呈现出能量的流动或物质转化过程，已成为理解系统结构和动态关系的首选工具。本文将深入探讨桑基图的形成原理、制作步骤及其在各个领域的应用。 What is a Sankey Chart? 桑基图，源于19世纪末，由德国工程师Miklós Székely教授所创，它是一种流线图，用于显示能量流动、资源分配、成本结构以及物质转化等过程。桑基图的每个分支宽度代表流量的大小，流量越大，分支宽度越宽。流线的走向则描绘了能量的传递路径。 The Mechanics of Creating a Sankey Chart 桑基图虽简单，但其构思和制作过程并不简单。以下是创建桑基图的几个关键步骤： 1. Identify the System or Process 首先要确定要描绘的系统或过程。例如，描绘一家公司的能源使用流程、一个经济系统的资本分配，或者一个自然生态系统中的物质循环。 2. Define the Data 收集相关数据，这些数据应包含流量的类型、单位以及涉及的节点。数据需是离散的，以方便在桑基图中展示。 3. Choose the Software or Tools 现在有许多软件和在线工具可用来制作桑基图，例如Microsoft Power BI、Tableau、Gephi等。 4. Set…
