A Schwarz--Christoffel map onto a nonconvex polygon #
Finite signed-height checks on the Schwarz--Christoffel vertices certify that the bounded sides
do not cross and that the bounded arc stays above the closing side. With interior turning
exponents in (-1, 1) \ {0}, endpoint exponents greater than -1, and total exponent -2,
these checks make the compactified boundary a Jordan curve.
The primitive then maps the upper half-plane bijectively onto the filled interior of that polygon.
Positive exponents, and hence reentrant corners, are allowed.

Signed vertex separation for nonadjacent bounded sides, together with strict heights above the closing line, makes the entire compactified Schwarz--Christoffel boundary injective.
Under finite vertex-separation and closing-height checks, the Schwarz--Christoffel primitive maps the upper half-plane bijectively onto the filled polygon interior. The exponents may be positive at reentrant corners.
