Abstract: In this work we examine two different measures for inhomogeneity and complexity that are derived from nonextensive considerations a' la Tsallis. Their performance is then tested on theoretically generated patterns. All measures are found to exhibit a most sensitive behaviour for Sierpinski carpets. The procedures here introduced provide us with new, powerful Tsallis' tools for analysing the inhomogeneity and complexity of spatial patterns.
