R语言实战—一文搞定桑基图的绘制

一、桑基图介绍

桑基图（Sankey diagram），即桑基能量分流图，也叫桑基能量平衡图。它是一种特定类型的流程图，概述图中延伸的分支的宽度对应数据流量的大小，通常应用于能源、材料成分、金融等数据的可视化分析。因1898年Matthew Henry Phineas Riall Sankey绘制的“蒸汽机的能源效率图”而闻名，此后便以其名字命名为“桑基图”。

二、地学领域的桑基图

地学领域常常需要用到时间序列分析，例如某地区三个不同年份土地利用情况，有时我们不仅需要知道每一个年份的不同类的占比情况，还需要明晰土地利用转移变化的情况，常用的方法是制作转移矩阵，转移矩阵作为表格可以很好表达土地利用的转移情况，那有没有一种图可以一眼看清变化情况呢？桑基图就可以做到。它的流向可以很好的对不同地类的转化情况做可视化。下面我们就以制作土地利用变化的桑基图作为本文的示例。

三、使用R语言进行桑基图绘制

1.假设我们有2000年，2010年，2020年三期土地利用数据。首先，我们需要制作2000--2010和2010--2020的两个转移矩阵（如下图），如果有不会制作转移矩阵的小伙伴可以去查找资料，非常简单。

2.将转移矩阵转换一下格式，因为桑基图的绘制需要设置“source”,"target"，“value”三个参数。转换后的格式如下图

3.编写代码，到这里我们已经做好了前期准备，让我们开始代码的编写吧！

library(networkD3)
library(dplyr)

# A connection data frame is a list of flows with intensity for each flow
links <- data.frame(
  #source=c("group_A","group_A", "group_B", "group_C", "group_C", "group_E"), 
  #target=c("group_C","group_D", "group_E", "group_F", "group_G", "group_H"), 
  #value=c(2,3, 2, 3, 1, 3)
  source = c("2000_1", "2000_1", "2000_1", "2000_1", "2000_1",
             "2000_2", "2000_2", "2000_2", "2000_2", "2000_2",

# From these flows we need to create a node data frame: it lists every entities involved in the flow
nodes <- data.frame(
  name=c(as.character(links$source), 
         as.character(links$target)) %>% unique()
)

# With networkD3, connection must be provided using id, not using real name like in the links dataframe.. So we need to reformat it.
links$IDsource <- match(links$source, nodes$name)-1 
links$IDtarget <- match(links$target, nodes$name)-1

# Make the Network
p <- sankeyNetwork(Links = links, Nodes = nodes,
                   Source = "IDsource", Target = "IDtarget",
                   Value = "value", NodeID = "name", 
                   sinksRight=FALSE)
p

# save the widget
