gghilbertstrings - A Fast 'ggplot2'-Based Implementation of Hilbert Curves

A set of functions that help to create plots based on Hilbert curves. Hilbert curves are used to map one dimensional data into the 2D plane. The package provides a function that generate a 2D coordinate from an integer position. As a specific use case the package provides a function that allows mapping a character column in a data frame into 2D space using 'ggplot2'. This allows visually comparing long lists of URLs, words, genes or other data that has a fixed order and position.
