Conformal Mapping. A conformal mapping, also called a conformal map, conformal transformation, angle-preserving transformation, or biholomorphic map, is a transformation that preserves local angles.An analytic function is conformal at any point where it has a nonzero derivative.onformal Mapping.

1 The map is conformal. 2  In other words, that means that the scale is constant around any position. 3  In other words, once we have our x scale, we also know our y scale for a map segment. 4  Rhumb lines are straight segments-The easiest way to understand a rhumb line is to imagine you are sailing a ship.
