 ### Basic Sankey Diagram
+Sankey diagrams visualize the contributions to a flow by defining [source](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#sankey-link-source) to represent the source node, [target](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#sankey-link-target) for the target node, [value](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#sankey-link-value) to set the flow volum, and [label](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#sankey-node-label) that shows the node name.

+### Define Node Position
+
+The following axample sets [node.x](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#sankey-node-x) and [node.y](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#sankey-node-y) to place nodes in the specified locations, except in the [snap arrangement](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#sankey-arrangement) to avoid overlapping of the nodes, therefore, an automatic snapping of elements will be set to define the padding between nodes via [nodepad](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#sankey-node-pad). The other possible arrangements are:<font color='blue'> 1)</font> perpendicular <font color='blue'>2)</font> freeform <font color='blue'>3)</font> fixed
