Provides a framework for implementing V-variable fractal algorithms.

Abstract

V-variable fractals, where $V$ is a positive integer, are intuitively fractals with at most $V$ different "forms" or "shapes" at all levels of magnification. In this paper we describe how V-variable fractals can be used for the purpose of image compression.
