A petal hood is essentially the projection of a round cylinder into the
four-sided pyramid of light rays that form the image. Where the round
cylinder (or round cone) intersects the four-sided pyramid of light rays the
edges of the petal are found. This means that it is really like and
under-sized rectangular hood with the corners cut away, which would wind up
looking like a 'squared petal' if you did that.
