streamline()

Plotting

streamline() is a MATLAB®-compatible plotting function for streamline plot. traces flow lines through a 2d vector field using rk4 integration. x, y define the grid, u, v are velocity components, and startx, starty are seed points. Run it online in your browser with SimLab — free, no install, no license required.

Frequently Asked Questions about streamline()

Is the streamline() function free to use in SimLab?

The browser workspace requires no MATLAB® license or installation. Connected features require network access and may have account, tier, availability, or usage limits. You can open streamline() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible function references at simulations4all.com/simlab.

Do I need to install MATLAB to use streamline()?

No. SimLab’s core parser, workspace state, and most functions run locally in your browser. The streamline() function requires no MATLAB® license or desktop software download.

What does streamline() do?

Streamline plot. Traces flow lines through a 2D vector field using RK4 integration. X, Y define the grid, U, V are velocity components, and startX, startY are seed points. It is a MATLAB®-compatible plotting function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: streamline(X, Y, U, V, startX, startY).

Can I run streamline() in my browser?

Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls streamline(), and run it. This function’s calculation runs locally in the browser. SimLab session analytics, sharing, feedback, and eligible acceleration have separate network boundaries.
