SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on labeling multiple sets of streamlines in the Wolfram Language using the StreamPlot function. The user initially attempts to use LineLegend for labeling but encounters issues. The solution provided simplifies the labeling process by directly using a list of labels within the PlotLegends option. This approach effectively resolves the labeling problem for the two sets of streamlines.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Wolfram Language syntax
  • Understanding of the StreamPlot function
  • Knowledge of plotting legends in graphical representations
  • Basic concepts of vector fields and streamlines
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced options for customizing StreamPlot in Wolfram Language
  • Learn about using multiple legends in graphical outputs
  • Investigate vector field visualization techniques
  • Study the integration of StreamPlot with other plotting functions in Wolfram Language
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, data visualizers, and educators looking to enhance their graphical representations using the Wolfram Language.

Hi PF!

I am trying to label two different sets of streamlines but am having no luck. My code is
Code: 
StreamPlot[{{y, -x}, {x, y}}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3},
 PlotLegends -> LineLegend["graph 1", "graph 2"]]
Thanks!

Try the simpler approach
Code: 
StreamPlot[{{y, -x}, {x, y}}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3},
PlotLegends -> {"graph 1", "graph 2"}]
