Minard's diagram of Napoleon's invasion of Russia, using the feature now named after Sankey. One of the most famous Sankey diagrams is Charles Minard's Map of Napoleon's Russian Campaign of 1812. [5] It is a flow map, overlaying a Sankey diagram onto a geographical map. It was created in 1869, predating Sankey's first Sankey diagram of 1898.
Sankey's diagram, 1898. In an 1898 article about the energy efficiency of a steam engine in the Minutes of Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers Sankey introduced the first energy flow diagram: a visualisation to be christened Sankey diagram. [4] Sankey gave the following explanation how to read the image:
This type of band graph for illustration of flows was later called a Sankey diagram, although Matthew Henry Phineas Riall Sankey used this visualisation 30 years later and only for thematic energy flow. Charles Minard's map of Napoleon's disastrous Russian campaign of 1812.

The same dataset plotted in three charts: Top panel is a bar chart depicting the flow of occurrences over time (resembles the Sankey diagram in the New York Times original [33]). Middle panel is a bubble chart that separately quantifies discrete outcomes.

Whether or not a Sankey diagram is a sensible thing really depends on what you want to be able to show with the diagram. It is not a "standard diagram" used in only one particular way; creativity is allowed :-) Although one absolute rule: width of fluxes must be proportional to the depicted flow magnitude -- 62.202.111.50 ( talk ) 12:37, 19 ...
