The entropy \(h(T_alpha)\) of \(Alpha\)-continued fraction transformations is known to be locally monotone outside a closed, totally disconnected set \(EE\). We will exploit the explicit description of the fractal structure of \(EE\) to investigate the self-similarities displayed by the graph of the function \(alpha mapsto h(T_alpha)\). Finally, we completely characterize the plateaux occurring in this graph, and classify the local monotonic behaviour.
