The Flow function of Phaser allows rapid exploration of dynamics of equations by displaying multiple solutions. In this Phase Portrait picture of a planar pendulum with friction, 250 solutions starting from randomly chosen initial conditions in the dark blue box, and another 250 solutions originating from the dark yellow box, are plotted simultaneously. The fate of these solutions spiraling towards various equilibria are clearly visible.
