===========================================
Overlaying differentially rotated gridlines
===========================================
How to overlay differentially rotated gridlines on a Map.
The example uses the `~sunpy.coordinates.metaframes.RotatedSunFrame` coordinate
metaframe in `sunpy.coordinates` to overlay differentially rotated gridlines on
a Map. See :ref:`sunpy-coordinates-rotatedsunframe` for more details on using
`~sunpy.coordinates.metaframes.RotatedSunFrame`.

# Let's use an AIA observation, and plot lines of constant longtiude in
# heliographic Stonyhurst. We'll plot the normal lines (prior to applying
# differential rotation) in white and the differentially rotated lines in
# blue. Be aware that the differentially rotated lines are plotted in the
# original coordinate frame, so it doesn't account for any motion of the
# observer over 27 days.
