lick
Line Integral Convolution Knit : clothe a 2D field (ex: density field) with a LIC texture, given two vector fields (ex: velocity (vx, vy)).
This package builds on top of rLIC, adding post-processing and visualization functionalities.

Installation
Install with pip
pip install lick
To import lick:
import lick as lk
The important functions are lick_box and lick_box_plot. While lick_box interpolates the data and perform a line integral convolution, lick_box_plot directly plots the final image. Use lick_box if you want to have more control of the plots you want to do with the lic. Use lick_box_plot if you want to take advantage of the fine-tuning of the pcolormesh parameters.
Example
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from lick import lick_box_plot
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
x = np.geomspace(0.1, 10, 128)
y = np.geomspace(0.1, 5, 128)
a, b = np.meshgrid(x, y)
v1 = np.cos(a)
v2 = np.sin(b)
field = v1 ** 2 + v2 ** 2
