Hello, I use StreamPlot in Mathematica v8 to plot electric field lines from two functions: the x-component Ex[x_,y_] and the y-component Ey[x_,y_], each computed from a charge distribution. Is it possible to force Mathematica to plot field lines fully extending from one charge to the other, as in http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/imgele/edip2.gif? So far I only get field lines homogeneously spatially distributed, but I would like to illustrate the field strength with the nb of lines (not with a density plot). Thanks for reading! Mat
