The Schwarz-Christoffel transformation is a recipe for a conformal map to a region bounded by a polygon. They can be computed to very high accuracy in little time. These maps can make certain Laplace boundary value problems trivial to solve on such domains.
Example:
p = polygon([0 i -1+i -1-i 1-i 1]); % L-shaped region
f = diskmap(p); % find map
plot(f) % visualize it
phi = lapsolve(p,[1 nan 4 3 nan 2]); % solve a BVP
[t,x,y] = triangulate(p);
trisurf(t,x,y,phi(x+i*y)); % see it
