drawSankey
drawSankey is a matlab function that draws single-direction Sankey diagrams (i.e no feedback loops), however, multiple inputs can be specified.The syntax is the following:
drawSankey(inputs, losses, unit, labels, sep)
inputs: a vector containing the flow inputs, the first of which will be considered the main input and drawn centrally, other inputs will be shown below this.
losses: a vector containing all of the losses from the system, which will be displayed along the top of the Sankey diagram
unit: a string indicating the unit in which the flows are expressed
labels: a cell list of the labels for the different flows, starting with the labels for the inputs, then the losses and finally the output
sep: an (optional) list of position for separating lines, placed after the loss corresponding to the indexes provided

It is very easy to use. Thank you
interesting tools, thanks.
do you have some examples?
The only tool I can find to draw a Sankey diagram directly in Matlab. Only problem is that big arrows will not fit in the pop-up window. But when opening in plot tools it is posible to make it fit.
I think this is very interesting. I need to use it more before I can give it a rating.
A question for you regarding the license. I would like to use it to prepare some plots in the company I work for but I am not sure based on the wording of the license:
" Distributed under Creative Commons Attribution + NonCommerical (by-nc)
Licensees may copy, distribute, display, and perform the work and make derivative works based on it only for noncommercial purposes".
Does that mean I can't use it in my job?
If so would you consider changing the license so that someone can use it for any purpose?
Thank you.
Very good tool.
Simple to use & generates good sankey diagrams. However customization options are limited.
