Thanks all for your superb feedback. I think the middle point between the over explicit 'hilbert_space_filling_curve' and the cryptic 'hilfil' is 'hilbert_curve'. If there is no any other concern, I'm going to use 'hilbert_curve' and 'peano_curve'. Best, Javier ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
