The sankey from anarseyf

sankey's Introduction

(Chart generated from the sample file.)

This app is automagically deployed at http://anarseyf.github.io/sankey/.

To check out the code, do this in the terminal on Mac or Linux (not sure how to do this on Windows):

# mkdir ~/git && cd ~/git
# git clone https://github.com/anarseyf/sankey.git
# cd sankey
# open index.html

A few notes:

Empty lines (like the 2nd line in your sample file) is interpreted as "no action was taken on those 13 messages", so they go directly from Start to End.
Each entry in the CSV file results in its own line. Depending on the data, there can be multiple lines going from ActionA to ActionB in parallel. As a concrete example: in the sample file, there are multiple entries starting with ActionA, with the implied link Start -> ActionA. It's possible to consolidate those into one line -- let me know if that would be valuable.
Cycles are handled too (for example, if both ActionC,ActionD and ActionD,ActionC entries are present), but rendering of lines isn't perfect.
Actual values for each line can be seen on mouse-over.

Browser support and Limitations:

Works on Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. Not tested in Edge or Internet Explorer.
It's best to use Firefox. The file uploader accepts files from anywhere, not just from subfolders of the repository. The file uploader on Safari only accepts files located in the same directory as the index.html file (no subfolders).
On Chrome, simply opening the index.html file does not work (due to cross-origin complaints), but there's an easy workaround:
- In the terminal:
```
# cd ~/git/sankey
# python -m SimpleHTTPServer
```
- In the browser, open http://localhost:8000
