A Moore curve after E. H. Moore is a Geometric continuity continuous fractal space filling curve space filling curve which is a variant of the Hilbert curve . Precisely, it is the curve definitions loop version of the Hilbert curve, and it may be thought as the union of four copies of the Hilbert curves combined in such a way to make the endpoints coincide. Because the Moore curve is plane filling, its Hausdorff dimension is 2. The following figure shows the initial stages of the Moore curve.
