Is there fractal pattern in the plot of the fractional part of $x y$?

For real $x,y$, define $g(x,y)=\{x y\}$ where $\{\cdot\}$denote the fractional part.

For a point $(x,y)$ in the plane, color the point as $g(x,y)$ wherezero is black, one is white and smaller is darker.

Q1 Is there fractal pattern for $g(x,y)$ in this construction?

Experiments suggest there are patterns which persist zooming in.

Figure 1a: $g(x,y): -18.05 < x,y <18.05 $enter image description herefrac_xy_(-18.05,18.05),(-18.05,18.05).png

Figure 2: $g(x,y): -18 < x,y < 18$

One possible approach is to examine the zeros of $g(x,y)=C$for constant $C$.
