StreamMarkers

StreamMarkers

is an option for StreamPlot, ListStreamPlot and related functions that specifies what markers to draw at the field points plotted.

Details

The following settings can be used:
None no markers

Automatic default markers

"name" named markers name

{marker₁,marker₂,…} a list of markers marker_i
Arrow-like markers that indicate stream flow and the direction include:

		"Arrow"	arrow-shaped marker
		"PinDart"	pin-dart-shaped marker
		"Dart"	dart-shaped marker
		"CircleArrow"	circle with an arrow on its diagonal

Additional markers that indicate the stream flow and the direction include:

		"Dot"	line segment with a dot as its arrowhead
		"DotArrow"	arrow with a dot at the tail
		"Pointer"	pointer-shaped marker
		"BackwardPointer"	pointer-shaped marker pointing backward
		"Drop"	drop-shaped marker
		"Paddle"	paddle with flat end in the field direction

General oriented markers that indicate stream flow slope include:

		"Box"	a tight bounding box
		"Segment"	line segment
		"DoubleDart"	double-ended dart
		"ArrowArrow"	double-ended arrow
		"DotDot"	line segment with dots at either end
		"BarDot"	undirected bar with a dot at its center
		"Spindle"	spindle-shaped marker along the field direction
		"Toothpick"	toothpick-shaped marker

Examples

Basic Examples (7)

Use arrows as default markers:

No markers:

Use named markers:

Use a different type of marker for each field:

Markers are used cyclically:

Use general oriented markers to show the flow paths while not showing the direction:
