The Guyou hemisphere-in-a-square projection is a conformal map projection for the hemisphere. It is an oblique aspect of the Peirce quincuncial projection.
The projection was developed by Émile Guyou of France in 1887. [1] [2]
The projection can be computed as an oblique aspect of the Peirce quincuncial projection by rotating the axis 45 degrees. It can also be computed by rotating the coordinates −45 degrees before computing the stereographic projection; this projection is then remapped into a square whose coordinates are then rotated 45 degrees. [3]
The projection is conformal except for the four corners of each hemisphere's square. Like other conformal polygonal projections, the Guyou is a Schwarz–Christoffel mapping.
Its properties are very similar to those of the Peirce quincuncial projection:
