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.

Albeit one very important conformal projection is one of the oldest map projections still in use, systematic understanding of requisites and properties of conformality had to wait for the development of sophisticated mathematical tools like differential calculus and complex analysis in the 18th and 19th centuries.
