Gosper regions (quantitative)

An experiment with Gosper regions and quantitative data. A sequence of elements, each with its own quantitative variable, is sorted, then placed on the map following the Gosper curve. Quantization can then be changed without changing the elements' position, yet still producing adjacent regions with a good aspect ratio.

If such a solution would fit a certain problem is anyone's guess, but I think it could be of help if a ZUI is desirable (e.g. if users want to request details about a certain element or its neighborhood).
