Exploding on a sankey diagram

AAEAAQAAAAAAAAQ9AAAAJGU4ODI4ZjA1LWI4YWQtNDRhMC04ZmVmLWNjYjEwYjFhNzZhNw.png

 

Hi all,

 

I have a diagram similar to this, is there way to explode to a new diagram when I click on a particular node??

 

Thank you for the assistance in advance

Trying to do something similar. For example the Source column has 3 nodes: Company A, B and C. Destination has 4 nodes: Channel 1, 2, 3, 4. However, each company makes several types of products. Say company A has alfa, beta and gamma. B has alfa, delta and epsilon. Company C has beta, gamma, delta and epsilon.

I want to see a sankey that shows A, B and C flows into channels 1, 2, 3 and 4. But also can drill down each node showing the flows from A-alfa, A-beta, A-gamma, B-alfa, B-delta and so on into each channel.

Is this possible?

No, Like a drill drown of some sort, Parent- Child pages

i dont think so, what sort of diagram where you wanting to drill down into?  could you create 2 visuals one with the drill down information you require?  I dont know if we usign the sankey diagram but it doesn't look like mine interacts with other visuals, does yours?

What i initially wanted to do was that whenever a user clicks on a node, I want it to drill down to a child diagram that shows that particular node and its predecessors. I don't knowb if I'm making sense

you are making sense, but my feeling is that you would need to use two visuals to accomplish this as i dont think as i am not sure the type of visuals you want do do this with allows that (but happy to be wrong) -  how about using a cluster map which will interact with another visual or the network navigator visuals from the visuals gallery?
