Hexagon grid on sphere without pentagon

I wanted to make a tile-based world on a sphere. I would like to use hexagon-shaped tiles, though as far as I can figure out you need to have pentagons in there too to make it fit. So, my question is, is it possible to make a hexagon grid on a…

How to make stat_binhex shown on a log scale in ggplot2

I have a 2d hexagon density plot with many points. I would like the counts within the hexagons to be displayed on a logarithmic scale, but I can't figure out how to do this through ggplot2. Here is a simple example: x <- runif(1000, 50, 100) y <-…

How to reliably generate hexagonal grid over a world map

Goal I'm attempting to build an application whereby the whole world map is split into a large number of hexagons. These hexagons, once generated would always cover the same area on the map. Then, given certain geographical coordinates, a hexagon…

Raytracing (LoS) on 3D hex-like tile maps

Greetings, I'm working on a game project that uses a 3D variant of hexagonal tile maps. Tiles are actually cubes, not hexes, but are laid out just like hexes (because a square can be turned to a cube to extrapolate from 2D to 3D, but there is no 3D…

R - Plotting Hexagon Tessellations

I'd like to generate some square plots that have arrays of hexagons inside of them, like drawn here. I'd like to plot both regular (geometrically regular) and abnormal hexagon tessellations, so I don't think tools from the "sp" package will work. …

Displaying data in a hexagonal grid using Python

What I am looking for is a method or class that allows me to display a list of hexagons in a grid. Ideally I would then be able to use some form of set-method to change the color/hatching/border of the individual hexagons. The hexagons are stored…

Best-fit hexagonal tilings of irregular areas

I'm looking for recommendations for an application or library to calculate good fits of regular hexagonal grids to an irregular area or group of areas. Minimally, I'd like to be able to supply an image and maximum number of hexagons and retrieve the…

Neural Networks for hexagon-shaped (and binned) images?

This is really a conceptual question -- I've been working on this for sometime now, but haven't found a great way to go about solving my problem. I have a hexagonal image with hexagonal binning/pixels, with b/w intensity values for each pixel and am…
