MATLAB : Does the command "contour" give the streamlines in a flow simulation?

Question

I'm not sure what command to use on matlab to plot the streamlines in a flow simulation. I used the command "contour" but it seems that it is not the right one.

I tried to use the commands "streamline" and "stream2d" but the starting points are really difficult to choose.

When I did simulations, I used the command `streamslice` to display the streamlines. — Zoltán Csáti, Apr 04 '16 at 10:21
streamslice is used for 3D cases i think? How did you use it exactly can you give me the instruction ? — Dhouha Ben hamadou, Apr 04 '16 at 11:51

I found the solution it is "quiver" command (if case anyone needs this)

quiver command is used to generate vector field which predict the direction of velocity components while streamline command is used to generate streamlines. contour plot is basically a surface plot which can be used to plot stream function.
