What is a Sankey Diagram and Why Use It?

[LatexZone]

What do you honestly define a sankey diagram to be? I really don't think there's any point in using it. I mean, why would it help someone, what is the meaning of it and how is it used or when is it used..

I really don't have an understanding of this..maybe you do?

They give good visual representations and are useful for displays such as posters.

Anyone else? Any more advantages for using it? Any way you could describe to a friend what it is?
