Is it possible to do a stream plot that doesn’t add the SCNL text box in the top left corner of each panel?

I don’t see anything in the method kwargs like that, so you can either manipulate the figure/axes objects and get rid of the text item (`for ax in fig.axes: ax.texts[0].remove()`) or do a custom matplotlib plot from scratch.
