Editing Iterated function system (section)

==Examples==
The diagram shows the construction on an IFS from two affine functions. The functions are represented by their effect on the bi-unit square (the function transforms the outlined square into the shaded square). The combination of the two functions forms the [[Hutchinson operator]]. Three iterations of the operator are shown, and then the final image is of the fixed point, the final fractal.

Early examples of fractals which may be generated by an IFS include the [[Cantor set]], first described in 1884; and [[de Rham curve]]s, a type of self-similar curve described by [[Georges de Rham]] in 1957.
