流图本质上是2D图的一种，主要由物理学家用来显示流体流动和2D场梯度。在Matplotlib中创建流图的基本函数是：
ax.streamplot(x_grid, y_grid, x_vec, y_vec, density=spacing)
这里的x_grid和y_grid是x和y点的数组.x_vec和y_vec表示网格上每个点的流速度。属性＃density = spacing＃指定将流线绘制在一起的紧密程度。
创建流图-
首先，创建一个简单的流图，在10 x 10网格上包含流线。所有流线都是平行的并指向右侧。以下代码创建的流图包含指向右侧的水平平行线：
# Import libraries
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Creating dataset
x = np.arange(0, 10)
y = np.arange(0, 10)
# Creating grids
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
# x-component to the right
u = np.ones((10, 10))
# y-component zero
v = np.zeros((10, 10))
fig = plt.figure(figsize = (12, 7))
# Plotting stream plot
plt.streamplot(X, Y, u, v, density = 0.5)
# show plot
plt.show()输出：
在这里，x和y是等距网格上的一维数组，u和v是x和y速度的2D数组，其中行数应与y的长度匹配，而列数应与x的密度匹配，一个控制流线的紧密度的float值。
定制流图-
借助streamplot()函数，我们可以基于定义的2D矢量场创建和定制显示场线的绘图。许多属性在streamplot()修改图的函数。
# Import libraries
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Creating data set
w = 3
Y, X = np.mgrid[-w:w:100j, -w:w:100j]
U = -1 - X**2 + Y
V = 1 + X - Y**2
speed = np.sqrt(U**2 + V**2)
# Creating plot
fig = plt.figure(figsize = (12, 7))
plt.streamplot(X, Y, U, V, density = 1)
# show plot
plt.show()输出：
