# Sankey

Using the "Sankey" module, you can embed Sankey diagrams in a widget. 

Sankey diagrams are particularly well suited for showing inflows and outflows for a quantity.

Since the inflows and outflows are displayed as arrows whose thickness is proportional to the quantity, energy flows, for example, can be made intuitively understandable.
