Dear R-list, I am trying to visualize where the dropout happens in our patient flow. We are currently using traditional flowcharts and it bothers me that I can't visualize both the percentage and the flow in one diagram.
The other day I came across some interesting diagrams doing exactly what I wanted, they had both flow and percentages visualized on one diagram. Here is some nice examples apparently made with ‘sankeypython’ http://www.sankey-diagrams.com/tag/software/ It didn't take long to find a blog where a Ruser (thanks!) had posted an R script that actually produces an Sankey Diagram in R http://biologicalposteriors.blogspot.com/2010/07/sankey-diagrams-in-r.html See below for working example. My questions are, is this the most updated Sankey Diagram-script we have in the R community? Is there a better way to visualize flow and percentages in one diagram in R?
