Is there a Mathematica version of ODE tools pplane and dfield?

Question

The toolkits dfield and pplane are staples in ODE courses. First in MATLAB, now in Java. Do they have a Mathematica expression?

Sample outputs follow:

Have you seen EquationTrekker or search this site for phase portrait or direction field? — Michael E2, Apr 07 '17 at 02:41
@Michael E2: Had not seen EquationTrekker; will tinker with it immediately. Had not searched with those keywords. Found many promising links. Thanks, very helpful insights. My hope is to find a package and avoid writing code. Many homework problems are written around the functionality of pplane and dfield, so a close match is desirable. — dantopa, Apr 07 '17 at 02:53

@Michael E2: Should the post be deleted, or should the search result be summarized and appended to the OP? — dantopa, Apr 07 '17 at 05:22
I'm a bit involved in a family situation and don't have the time to consider answering. If a good duplicate or two can be found, it might be better to "close" it as a duplicate. The advantage is that others searching for an equivalent to dfield or pplane would likely find this question and the linked solutions. — Michael E2, Apr 07 '17 at 10:17
@Michael E2: Thanks for the idea. Here is a hasty collection, not a curation. Your further insights are welcome. Readers: Please remember to upvote these clever solutions. — dantopa, Apr 20 '17 at 23:45

There are a lot of resources on this site (as suggested in the comments and likely to make the question reasonably deemed a duplicate). You can do a lot yourself, e.g.:

sp = StreamPlot[{2 x - y + 3 (x^2 - y^2) + 2 x y, 
    x - 3 y - 3 (x^2 - y^2) + 3 x  y}, {x, -2, 4}, {y, -4, 2}];
cp = {x, y} /. 
   NSolve[{2 x - y + 3 (x^2 - y^2) + 2 x y, 
      x - 3 y - 3 (x^2 - y^2) + 3 x  y} == {0, 0}, {x, y}
    ];
sn = ParametricNDSolve[{{x'[t], 
      y'[t]} == {2 x[t] - y[t] + 3 (x[t]^2 - y[t]^2) + 2 x[t] y[t], 
      x[t] - 3 y[t] - 3 (x[t]^2 - y[t]^2) + 3 x[t]  y[t]}, {x[0], 
      y[0]} == {a, b}}, {x, y}, {t, 0, 1}, {a, b}];
Manipulate[
 Show[sp, ParametricPlot[{x[a, b][t], y[a, b][t]} /. sn, {t, 0, 1}, 
   PlotStyle -> Red], 
  Epilog -> {PointSize[0.02], Black, Point[{a, b}], Green, Point[cp]},
   PlotLabel -> 
   Column[Thread[{x', y'} == {2 x - y + 3 (x^2 - y^2) + 2 x y, 
       x - 3 y - 3 (x^2 - y^2) + 3 x  y}]]], {a, 0, 2}, {b, 0, 2}]
