Plotting points on a Map with WCSAxes

This example demonstrates the plotting of a point, a line and an arch in pixel coordinates,
world coordinates, and SkyCoords respectively when plotting a map with WCSAxes.

# Now we will plot a line on the map by using coordinates in arcseconds.
# The array below ``xx`` and ``yy`` are the x and y coordinates that define a
# line from the Sun center (at 0, 0) to the point (500, 500) in arcsecs.
# When plotting a map a WCSAxes is created.
# For plotting with WCSAxes, pixel coordinates are expected as a default, however,
# we can plot world coordinates (i.e. arcsec) by using the ``transform`` keyword.
# Its important to note that when transforming between world and pixel coordinates
# the world coordinates need to be in degrees rather than arcsecs.

# Here we will plot a point in pixel coordinates (i.e. array index).
# Let's define a pixel coordinate in the middle of the image, ``pixel_coord``.
# As this coordinate is in pixel space (rather than a world coordinates like arcsec)
# we do not need to use the ``transform`` keyword.

# As well as defining a point and using `.GenericMap.plot()`, you can also plot
# a point with WCSAxes using the `~astropy.visualization.wcsaxes.WCSAxes.plot_coord`
# functionality using a coordinate as a SkyCoord.
# We can demonstrate this by plotting a point and an arc on a map using two separate SkyCoords.
# Here we will plot a point (at -250,-250) on the map using a SkyCoord.
