Marvellous.
Thank you very much indeed!

You choose the number of rows and columns and, for "scaling",
the horizontal radius and vertical radius of the circumellipses.

Come to think of things, I ran off a load of tessellating hexagons in
Turtle Graphics about
2 weeks ago using fekking code blocks.

Hi David,
Even with complex shapes, it’s pretty easy (once you have a template version)
just to clone it, and then place it appropriately (and obviously that can be
based on its centre, or, as you say, the edges of its rectangle). The maths
shouldn’t be that hard (& I speak as someone who hates
Not sure whether you really want to know or not ;-)
Richmond puts his finger on it really. Most of the properties of a graphic
polygon don’t relate to geometric features of the polygon itself - except when
it is a rect. So, as Richard says, tiling them or otherwise changing
properties of
I would agree if I understood one word of it, or even what the problem was this
approach was trying to solve.

One of the problems about any polygonal shape in LiveCode is that it

That might seem like a crashingly obvious remark until one starts to

Hi David,
The old “Traveller” space game used to use hexes a lot.
Now that computers are so powerful you can do almost
anything.
Here’s an example using hexes. Try zooming in and out.
Play around with the eye candy settings etc. It’s quite
impressive!
I have fooled around with hexagons as well, and they have to be, either;
1. Hexagonal SVG widgets,
or
2, Hexagons embedded in transparent squares as PGN images - with the
inevitable consequence that if you start using INTERSECT you must be
very careful
to set a transparency "trap" a bit
