Evenly Spaced Streamlines
The purpose of this package is to plot evenly spaced streamlines for a 2D vector field with more flexible style options than the standard function streamslice(). Specifically, this package includes:
+ "Fancy" arrow, taper, and texture styles as described Jobar & Lefer, 1997 [1]
+ Explicit control over both minimum and maximum streamline spacing
+ Better selection of streamline step size for high line densities

Amazing work. Thanks!!

For the interested, there is an alternative MATLAB implementation of the Jobard & Lefer 1997 algorithm for evenly-spaced streamlines at: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/54758-estream2

Thanks David! Your comment made me take a harder look at the standard streamslice() function, and it turns out I was able to make use of parts of it to speed up this package considerably. I also updated the documentation to better address the differences (advantages, I hope) of this package compared with streamslice().

This looks pretty good - I may use it in the future. Is it worth also showing the "default" Matlab streamlines in your examples, to show why this method is better?
