==============================================
Auto-Aligning AIA and HMI Data During Plotting
==============================================

This example shows how a map is autoaligned when it is plotted on a different
reference frame.

See :ref:`sphx_glr_generated_gallery_map_transformations_reprojection_align_aia_hmi.py`
for an alternate approach to image alignment, where one of the maps is modified
prior to plotting, and thus is available for purposes other than plotting.

# We use the AIA image and HMI image from the sample data. For the
# HMI map, we use the special HMI color map, which expects the plotted
# range to be -1500 to 1500.

# Plot both images side by side. Note by the tick labels that the HMI
# image is oriented "upside down" relative to the AIA image.

######################################################################
# Now let us intentionally set the ``projection`` for the right panel
# to be ``map_aia`` instead of ``map_hmi``. This time, plotting the
# HMI image onto axes defined by the AIA reference frame will trigger
# "autoalignment" functionality where each map pixel is individually
# drawn. The HMI image now has the same orientation as the AIA image.
#
# Note that off-disk HMI data are not retained by default because an
# additional assumption is required to define the location of the HMI
# emission in 3D space. We can use `~sunpy.coordinates.SphericalScreen`
# to retain the off-disk HMI data. See
# :ref:`sphx_glr_generated_gallery_map_transformations_reprojection_spherical_screen.py`
# for more reference.
