Matlab can draw streamline by itself with the built-in function: streamline. If you give it your velocity field, it can somehow draw a streamline picture.

BUT, in matlab streamline is NOT drawn by calculating stream function but by somehow like integrating a pathline. So if you want a real streamline picture, you should calculate stream function by yourself.
