Xfoil question

Hi everybody!
I'm using XFoil for some exercise and I had a question:
Is there a way to get a flow field with all streamlines at a fixed Lift Coefficient on Xfoil??
If the answer is ''Yes'', could you tell me how to get it?
Have a good day all of you!

I think this is not directly implemented.
However, what you can do is make a small script to compute the velocity at a certain points off the body using the VELS command. Note that this VELS command is not really accurate close to the boundary layer but for further off the body it can give a good estimation.
