# Format

Geo Sankey allows for many formatting options, here we will explain what each one offers.

#### Maximum link width

If you were to have many links within your viz it may be a good idea to reduce the maximum width of the links. Use the slider to choose your ideal maximum width.

#### Maximum node radius

Set the maximum size for your nodes. If there’s a condensed area of nodes, these may overlap and you’ll not be able to get clear insight from the view. Reduce the radius using the slider.

#### Horizontal node padding

Change the padding between nodes horizontally here. This will help with the spacing between nodes preventing as much overlapping as possible.

#### Link/Node opacity

Change the link and node opacity separately using the sliders. The lower the number the more transparent they’ll be.

#### Node border

Enable or disable a border on your nodes.

#### Zoom level

Set the level you wished to be zoomed when the Geo-Sankey reloads. If your data is focused in a small area, increase the zoom level.

#### Show paths

An important change will be whether to show the links from nodes at all time or just when you click on your desired node. A great formatting option use for different use cases.

#### Legend

Add a legend to your viz to show your users what the colors represent by using a legend. The clearer your viz, the better the user experience will be.
