Normally the length of a streamlet is proportional to the flow magnitude at its seed point.{{Cite book |last1=Urness |first1=T. |last2=Interrante |first2=V. |last3=Marusic |first3=I. |last4=Longmire |first4=E. |last5=Ganapathisubramani |first5=B. |title=IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control |chapter=Effectively visualizing multi-valued flow data using color and texture |chapter-url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/visual.2003.1250362 |year=2003 |pages=115–121 |publisher=IEEE |doi=10.1109/visual.2003.1250362|isbn=0-7803-8120-3 |s2cid=1445194 }}
