Stream plot

Stream plots, also known as streamline plots are used to visualize vector fields. They are mostly used in the engineering and scientific communities. They use vectors and their velocities as a function of base vectors to draw these plots.

Getting ready

Import the required libraries:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.gridspec as gridspec

How to do it...

The following code block creates a stream plot:

1. Prepare the data for the stream plot:

x, y = np.linspace(-3,3,100), np.linspace(-2,4,50)

2. Create the mesh grid:

X, Y = np.meshgrid...
