"""
Demo of the `streamplot` function.
Demo of the streamplot function with starting points.

A streamplot, or streamline plot, is used to display 2D vector fields. This
example shows a few features of the stream plot function:

* Varying the color along a streamline.
* Varying the density of streamlines.
* Varying the line width along a stream line.
This example shows how to fix the streamlines that are plotted, by passing
an array of seed points to the `start_points` keyword argument.
