Description

Arguments

col

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

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.
