Looks like a simple binary pattern creating a series of blocks that start a new "layer" with each change on binary order. >>It will be nice if they can be included in the >>miscellaneous package, however, I'm not quite sure regarding the >>convenience of the function names (they seem to be so general); if so, >>please feel free to propose suitable new names. > > > Yeah, the names are probably too general (I believe we have a 'hilbert' > function already that generates a Hilbert matrix). Perhaps > 'hilbert_curve' or the long-and-obvious name > 'hilbert_space_filling_curve'? Long names aren't good. Go for short condensations. Aim for no underscores if possible. For example, hilfil.m gets the point across and has an aliteration memory aid. > 'miscellaneous' seems like a fine place.

But a fractals package would be good too. (Why is there none? Fractal patterns were all the rage a decade ago.)
