Hi folks. The primary social account for SankeyMATIC is still.. From time to time, I will relay some announcements from that account to here.

Direct link to the Data section of the site with an interactive version:.

Mastodon link is still:

Here’s the latest thread there, with Apple’s newest quarterly results (and an explainer):.

These days I am on Bluesky as well, with the same handle:

(New Label features, cont.). 2) You can make labels larger or smaller based on the amount they represent. This can help draw attention to specific areas of your diagram. Try it at (Look in the 'Labels' panel.). #DataViz #BuildNiceThings #SankeyDiagrams

🧵 Via . Two upcoming Label features you can preview now:. 1) Names & Values can be placed on separate lines and can be given different sizes, giving them room to be larger & more readable. Try it at #DataViz #BuildNiceThings

Relaying a post from January:. A new feature is live!. * Save your work (data and settings) to a plain text file. * Upload it later and pick up exactly where you left off. #DataViz #SankeyDiagrams #BuildNiceThings

P.P.S. Enormous thanks to everyone who has donated in the past; your interest and generosity help to motivate work on improvements such as these. :). More info at

P.S. The code behind these improvements is already posted to The commits from October 2 - November 3 contain the key changes.

In summary:.1. Better-looking layouts!.2. More precise visual controls!. Go forth and try out the changes: In particular, play with the Height & Spacing sliders to see how they interact. (It's pretty fun.).

Improvement #2: The "Spacing" slider for Nodes has split into two: "Height" & "Spacing". Before, the slider was controlling both height & spacing, which was not flexible. Splitting them up gives you many more possibilities for how your diagrams look (as seen in this thread).

When your data has internal symmetry, the diagram ought to reflect that when it can. Now, Flows from Nodes which don't have their full value flowing in/out can attach to the *bottom* of a Node when appropriate. This makes diagram patterns such as funnels look better.

One specific improvement these changes make possible:. Symmetrical tree diagrams!. You see tree patterns in lots of places, including sports tournament brackets. Despite their simple structure, SankeyMATIC was not handling them well before. It's much better now.

Improvement #1: A better layout engine!. SankeyMATIC has new ideas about how to arrange Nodes & Flows. It now puts more effort into producing more balanced, more symmetrical, less lopsided diagrams. Here are a couple of comparisons showing the difference it can make.

Friends: I have been spending time in the Land of Somewhat Challenging Geometry Algorithms. After an extended stay there, I return to you with some visible improvements to share:. 1. An improved layout engine.2. More precise controls for your diagrams. Let's dig in. 🧵.#dataViz
