Example

This example implements a custom algorithm that paints diagram nodes and links.

To do this, create a class that implements the ISankeyColorizer interface. Then, assign an object of this class to the Colorizer property.

The following code implements a colorizer that applies random colors to nodes and specifies colors used to apply a gradient fill to links:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    sankeyDiagramControl1.Colorizer = new MyColorizer {
        LinkSourceColor = Color.Red,
        LinkTargetColor = Color.Yellow
    };

public class MyColorizer : ISankeyColorizer {
    public event EventHandler ColorizerChanged;
    Random rand = new Random();
    Dictionary<string, Color> KeyColorPairs = new Dictionary<string, Color>();
    public Color LinkSourceColor { get; set; }
    public Color LinkTargetColor { get; set; }
    public Color GetLinkSourceColor(SankeyLink link) {
        return LinkSourceColor;
    }
    public Color GetLinkTargetColor(SankeyLink link) {
        return LinkTargetColor;
    }
    public Color GetNodeColor(SankeyNode info) {
        if (!KeyColorPairs.TryGetValue((string)info.Tag, out Color nodeColor)) {
            nodeColor = GenerateColor();
            KeyColorPairs.Add((string)info.Tag, nodeColor);
        }
        return nodeColor;
    }
    private Color GenerateColor() {
        return Color.FromArgb(rand.Next(256), rand.Next(256), rand.Next(256));
    }
}
