"It is an excellent tool for producing sankey diagrams .... The ability to update values by exporting to and importing from Excel is a key feature which avoids having to redraw a diagram. It uses a hardware dongle so we have the software installed on several machines and share the key. I've also used it to investigate metering losses and to demonstrate financial data (where the money goes). Utilities [department] use it regularly to chart water, gas, electricity and steam flows to the site.Postscript: the suppliers got in touch with us today (2 Dec 05) and said:It does have a few quirky features such as invisible nodes and streams for making a chart look balanced even if data does not. The manual is adequate but needs a better translation (2001 version)."
