Fractal flames are a member of the iterated function system class of fractals invented by Scott Draves in 1992. They differ from ordinary IFS in three ways:

• Nonlinear functions instead of affine transforms.

• Log-density display instead of linear or binary.

• Color by structure instead of monochrome or by density.
