Creating a Composite Plot with Three Maps
=========================================

In this example, a composite plot is created with three maps.
It demonstrates how to specify contour levels, transparency, and
ordering when overlaying multiple maps.

# First, we will import sample data from EIT, RHESSI, and AIA. The EIT data
# shows a hot region of the solar corona, while AIA shows the cooler upper
# region of the corona. RHESSI data is focused on a solar flare, and will be
# plotted using contours.

# Before we plot the image, let's reproject the off-disk AIA coordinates onto
# a spherical screen at the same distance as the EIT map, so they can be
# overlaid. Next, zoom in around the solar flare so the RHESSI contours are
# visible. Also, specify the RHESSI contour levels to be plotted.

# When creating the plot, choose which Map will be used to create the WCS Axes
# that the other Maps will be plotted with. The EIT map is plotted first,
# followed by the AIA map, and lastly the RHESSI contours. Transparency is
# changed to 70% on the AIA map by specifying the parameter ``alpha``, and the
# image data is autoaligned to the EIT WCS Axes. The parameter ``zorder``
# specifies how each plot is layered (0 is plotted first and 1 is layered on
# top of 0, and so on).
