That conforms, especially to the shape of something. / (mathematics, of a transformation) That preserves angles between intersecting curves.

The dress has a conformal fit.

意味（1）

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.

意味（2）

(mathematics, of a transformation) That preserves angles between intersecting curves.

This would have been tantamount to a conformal transformation.

意味（3）

(cartography, of a map projection) 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.
