Sankey flow templates
Native multi-stage Sankey flow diagrams for budgets, energy balances, conversion funnels, and traffic. Declare nodes + weighted flows; topological layout columns them by depth, ribbons are cubic-bezier filled paths whose thickness equals the value, and each node displays its total throughput.
