StreamStyle

StreamStyle

is an option to StreamPlot, StreamDensityPlot, and related functions that determines the style to use for drawing streamlines.

Details

  • The setting for StreamStyle can include any color, thickness, dashing, arrowhead or other graphics directive.
  • StreamStyle->g specifies that a graphics directive g should be used to draw vectors in a plot.
  • StreamStyle->{g1,g2,…} specifies that successive directives gi should be used cyclically for successive vector fields.
  • The directives that can be given include:
  • Arrowheads[spec]arrowheads
    Dashing[{w1,…}]dashing specification
    Directive[g1,g2,…]composite graphics directive
    Glow[c]glow color
    GrayLevel[i]intensity
    Hue[h]hue
    Opacity[a]opacity
    Red, Blue, etc.named colors
    RGBColor[r,g,b]RGB color
    Specularity[s]surface specularity
    Opacity[a]opacity
    Thickness[w]line thickness
  • If an explicit setting is given for StreamColorFunction, it is used in preference to the setting for StreamStyle.

Basic Examples  (4)

Set the streamline style:

Wolfram Language code: StreamPlot[{-1 - x ^ 2 + y, 1 + x - y ^ 2}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, StreamColorFunction -> None, StreamStyle -> Pink]

StreamColorFunction has precedence over StreamStyle in the specification of stream colors:

Wolfram Language code: StreamPlot[{-1 - x ^ 2 + y, 1 + x - y ^ 2}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, StreamStyle -> Pink]

Set the style for streamlines overlaid on a background based on field magnitude:

Wolfram Language code: StreamDensityPlot[{-1 - x ^ 2 + y, 1 + x - y ^ 2}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, StreamColorFunction -> None, StreamStyle -> Black]

Set the style for multiple vector fields:

Wolfram Language code: StreamPlot[{{-1 - x ^ 2 + y, 1 + x - y ^ 2}, {-(1 + x - y ^ 2), -1 - x ^ 2 + y}}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, StreamColorFunction -> None, StreamStyle -> {Red, Blue}]

Scope  (3)

Combine stream styles with stream markers:

Wolfram Language code: StreamPlot[{-x + y, x + y}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, StreamColorFunction -> None, StreamStyle -> Red, StreamMarkers -> "Drop"]

Control the size of the arrowheads:

Wolfram Language code: Table[StreamPlot[{-x + y, x + y}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, StreamStyle -> Arrowheads[n], PlotLabel -> Arrowheads[n]], {n, {0.025, 0.05}}]

Use an arbitrary graphic as the arrowheads for vectors:

Wolfram Language code: StreamPlot[{-x + y, x + y}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, StreamStyle -> Arrowheads[{{.025, 1, {[image], 0}}}]]
