Lacunarity

Lacunarity

In geometry, lacunarity is a measure of how a fractal fills space. It is used to further classify fractals and textures which, while sharing the same fractal dimension, appear very visually different.

Dense fractals have a low lacunarity. As the coarseness of the fractal increases, so does the lacunarity. It is typically represented by the symbol "L".
