Figure 8b: The same two ``triangles'' under the action of the conformal mapping z=sqrt[atanh(x)] (the choice of the function here is arbitrary and is merely intended to illustrate the concept of conformality). For the small triangle, the isosceles shape as well as all the angles are preserved. At a larger scale, the triangle is distorted, although the angles remain right.
