Definition of Conformal
1. Adjective. Describing something that conforms, especially that matches the shape of something. ¹
2. Adjective. (cartography) Describing a map projection which has the property of preserving relative angles over small scales (except at a limited number of distinct points). On such map projections the scale depends only location but not direction. Also referred to as orthomorphic. ¹
