The wavelet transformation is briefly presented. It is shown how the analysis of the local scaling behavior of fractals can be transformed into the investigation of the scaling behavior of analytic functions over the half-plane near the boundary of its domain of analyticity. As an example, a "Weierstrass-like" fractal function is considered, for which the wavelet transform is related to a Jacobi theta function. Some of the scalings of this theta function are analyzed, and give some information about the scaling behavior of this fractal.
