AB: A geometric procedure producing a host of complex distributions over one, two or three dimensions, as transformations of multifractal distributions via fractal functions, is reviewed. Then, it is shown how such notions may be extended in order to produce yet richer sets of patterns that may be used to represent the geometry of a variety of geophysical sets. The ideas are illustrated via various examples that include evolutions of patterns, and their related statistics, based on suitable parameter changes.
