==========================================

.. py:method:: timflow.steady.plots.PlotSteady.tracelines(xstart, ystart, zstart, hstepmax, vstepfrac=0.2, tmax=1000000000000.0, nstepmax=100, silent='.', color=None, orientation: Literal['hor', 'ver', 'both'] = 'hor', win=None, ax=None, figsize=None, *, return_traces=False, metadata=False)

   
   Function to trace multiple pathlines.

   :param ml: model to which the element is added
   :type ml: Model object
   :param xstart: x-coordinates of starting locations
   :type xstart: array
   :param ystart: y-coordinates of starting locations
   :type ystart: array
   :param zstart: z-coordinates of starting locations
   :type zstart: array
   :param hstepmax: maximum horizontal step size [L]
   :type hstepmax: scalar
   :param vstepfrac: maximum vertical step as fraction of layer thickness
   :type vstepfrac: scalar
   :param tmax: maximum travel time
   :type tmax: scalar
   :param nstepmax: maximum number of steps
   :type nstepmax: int
   :param silent: if '.', prints dot upon completion of each traceline
   :type silent: string
   :param color: matplotlib color of traceline
   :type color: string
   :param orientation: 'hor' for horizontal, 'ver' for vertical
                       'both' for horizontal above vertical
   :type orientation: ('hor', 'ver', 'both')
   :param win: list with [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax]
   :type win: list
   :param ax: axes to plot on, default is None which creates a new figure
   :type ax: matplotlib.Axes or list of Axes
   :param return_traces: return traces if True
   :type return_traces: boolean
   :param metadata: if False, return list of xyzt arrays
                    if True, return list of result dictionaries
   :type metadata: boolean

   :returns: * **ax** (*matplotlib.Axes or list of Axes*) -- axes with plot
             * **traces** (*result*) -- only if return_traces = True
