Petal projection is a type of map projection used to visualize geographical data in a way that emphasizes certain features or regions, often in thematic mapping contexts. It derives its name from its visual resemblance to petals of a flower, as the projection often extends outward in a radial fashion, resembling petals surrounding a central point.
