adjective more conformal · most conformal
- That conforms, especially to the shape of something. Some are realizable in practical computational times; others giving ‘more conformal’ 3D dose distributions take longer and some invoke technology which is not readily available, such as intensity-modulated fields.
- That preserves angles between intersecting curves. 1991 [Elsevier Science], Roland Schinzinger, Patricio A. A. Laura, Conformal Mapping: Methods and Applications, 2003, Dover, page 508, This would have been tantamount to a conformal transformation.
- That preserves relative angles over small scales, at all but a limited number of distinct points. On conformal map projections, the scale depends on location only and not direction.
