hexagon {plotrix}

Draw a hexagon

Description

Draws a hexagon on the current graphic device

Usage

 hexagon(x,y,unitcell=1,col=NA,border="black")

Arguments

x, y

x and y position of the bottom left corner of the square that would pack into the same space as the hexagon.

unitcell

The dimension of the side of the abovementioned square.

col

The color to fill the hexagon - default is no fill.

border

The color of the perimeter of the hexagon.

Value

nil

Note

Draws a hexagon with the same center as a square that would pack into the same dimensions as the hexagon. That is, given a grid of squares with alternate rows shifted one half the length of the sides, the hexagons drawn would be close packed. Its use in the plotrix package is to provide an alternative unit cell for the ‘⁠color2D.matplot⁠’ function.
