HierarchySankey
The Hierarchy Sankey chart supports the following visual channels:
hierarchy: hierarchy channel, supports multiple dimensions
size: size channel, supports one measure
label: label channel, supports multiple dimensions and multiple measures
tooltip: tooltip channel, supports multiple dimensions and multiple measures
Hierarchy Sankey chart, used to display hierarchical flow data. Tree nodes and flow links represent hierarchical relationships and flow magnitude.
Applicable scenarios:
- Display hierarchical flow relationships from upstream to downstream
- Emphasize flow allocation and path transfer in a tree structure
Data requirements:
- At least 1 dimension field is required to construct the hierarchy
- At least 1 numeric field (measure) is required to map flow size
- The advanced pipeline needs to convert tidyData into the tree-shaped children structure supported by VChart
