#' Create fractal raster
#'
#' @description `fractalRast()` creates a raster with a fractal pattern.
#'
#' @param x A `GRaster`. The output will have the same extent and dimensions as this raster.
#'
#' @param n A numeric integer: Number of rasters to generate. 
#'
#' @param mu,sigma Numeric: Mean and sample standard deviation of output.
#'
#' @param dimension Numeric: Fractal dimension. Must be between 2 and 3.
#'
#' @returns A `GRaster`.
