+
+The Hilbert Curve (also known as the Hilbert Space Filling Curve) is a continuous
+fractal space-filling curve and is a variant of the space-filling Peano curves.
+
+Because it is space-filling, its Hausdorff dimension is 2. Precisely, its image
+is the unit square, whose dimension is 2 in any definition of dimension. Its
+graph is a compact set homeomorphic to the closed unit interval, with Hausdorff
+dimension 1.

+    """
+    Rotates a list of points by a given angle (in multiples of 90 degrees).
+
+    Since the rotation is limited to multiples of 90 degrees (90, 180, 270, 360),
+    this function simply reorders the list of points accordingly. The rotation in
+    each quadrant is achieved  by adjusting the starting index of the list
+    and wrapping around.
+
+    Parameters:
+    -----------
+    pnts : List[Tuple[float, float]]
+        A list of tuples, where each tuple represents a point (x, y).
+    angle : int
+        The angle of rotation, should be a multiple of 90 degrees
+        (e.g., 90, 180, 270, 360).
+
+    Returns:
+    --------
+    List[Tuple[float, float]]
+        A reordered list of points, rotated by the specified angle.
+
+    Example:
+    --------
+    >>> rotate_pnts([(1, 1), (0, 1), (0, 0), (1, 0)], 90)
+    [(0, 1), (0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1)]
