WPF Sankey Diagram

Hi,

Is it possible to generate Sankey diagrams with the WPF version of the library? If not is it a feature that you are planning to implement in the near future?

JS version looks great:

Thanks.

I think this should be quite possible. The implementation will be similar to what GoJS does. When I get a chance later today I can see if I can get a start on such a sample.

Thanks Walter, much appreciated.

Hey @walter did you get a chance to check this yet?

Sorry, I caught a cold and am not in a position to do significant things for a while until I get better.

oh ok, get well soon Walter.

Here you go. First the Sankey.xaml file:
