Well.. Hmm.. i remmebr readingf abt fractal images in 'Computer Graphics' text book.. dont remember exactly..

Anyway.. THIS should help you to know what fractal images are..
 
Hmm, I've heard the term Fractal Image Encoding before, I think it's got something to do with slicing images and then linking the different parts to pages or something like that.
 
You might have missed this :

Fractal Forge was born the day I had to print several fractal images and some simple posters with an Epson Stylus color printer. Back then, I realized there was no true color fractal generator for MS-Windows in the shareware market, so I decided to program one myself. I called it UbiMandel (after my name), and I wrote it in Visual Basic 3. I did not optimize the first version's algorithm because I didn't need to. Once I bought Delphi, I wondered what * simple program I could do, so I began to code True Mandel, another fractal program. I started it in May 1995 and finished it next October. I released it on the Internet as True Mandel 1.0 (trmand10.zip), which stands for True Color Mandelbrot Set Generator. Later, I decided to migrate to the win32-bit world (NT and 95-98) using Delphi 2. Soon, there were two shareware versions: 1.5 and 1.6. In 1999, I completely rewrote TrueMandel in Delphi 4, and changed its name to Fractal Forge because there are several programs with similar names already available. Your feedback was most appreciated... I received dozens of letters, both email and on paper. Keep writing to me, and I will keep developing this program.

Since version 2.4 I decided to make Fractal Forge open source, so I published it to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fractalforge. I have less and less time to improve Fractal Forge so I hope someone else can continue its growing. I need better documentation and porting it to Linux with Kylix.

A fractal is an image which stays the same at any level. Let me explain with an example

Take a mountain. Look at the general shape. Now imagine that you're looking at a hill on that mountain..and that has the same shape too. Now look at a boulder on the hill..and imagine that it has the same shape. You keep going downwards - and all things have the same basic shape

Sounds crazy? Here's a better example

Take a graph of the stock market over the last 100 years. Now, take a graph of the stock market over the last 10 years. You would see that they are mostly similar.

Fractals are easy to generate using computer programs - Mandelbrot and Julia fractals are the most famous. Fractals also play a part in chaos theory- as those who've read Jurassic Park would know
