Homalographic projection is a term used in cartography which refers to the process of projecting a 3D object onto a 2D surface. However, this term can be easily interchanged with other synonyms which have the same meaning. These include the following: stereographic projection, orthographic projection, azimuthal projection, and planar projection. While each of these terms may have slight differences in how the projection is achieved, they are all used to create accurate maps and visual representations of objects in a two-dimensional format. The use of homalographic projection and its synonyms are essential in a variety of fields such as geography, astronomy, and engineering.
