Use the complex logarithm with on the nonzero points of the first-quadrant square. Put . The square bounds give
The two edges meeting at map to the horizontal half-lines and , extending indefinitely to the left. The other edges map to for and for . They meet at .
The angles are preserved at , and . There is finite and nonzero. The origin is a branch point, has no finite logarithmic image, and supplies no fourth finite vertex at which angle preservation could be asserted.
