Welcome to the conformal mapping project!

The goal of this project is to provide computational conformal mapping software. Conformal mapping is a fast and very accurate solution method for some classical problems in two dimensions. Increasingly it is also a technique for flattening surfaces in 3D to the sphere or plane in a manner that preserves all angle information.

The origin of the software is the Matlab Schwarz-Christoffel Toolbox (www.github.com/tobydriscoll/sc-toolbox), written by Toby Driscoll. It's suitable for maps to regions bounded by polygons. The immediate plan is to extend the capabilities of this toolbox to additional planar regions. In the longer term, the software might be ported to Python or Julia to make it accessible without requiring Matlab.
