computation of conformal maps to polygonally bounded regions

function varargout = get(map,varargin)
%GET    Get map parameters.
%   Each SC map stores data needed to compute with the map. GET is a
%   generic access to these data. 
%
%   [VAL1,VAL2,...] = GET(F,'PROP1','PROP2',...) returns the values of
%   the map F corresponding to the requested properties. Valid properties
%   vary by map type. Use GET(F) to see a list for the type associated
%   with F. Note that field name abbreviations are NOT allowed.
