Hexagon Grid

What this grid is

A Hexagon Grid tiles the plane with equal hexagons. Many designers prefer hex grids because neighboring directions feel more evenly spaced than in a square grid: each cell has six consistent directions, which works beautifully for maps, board‑game layouts, and radial design systems.

This generator exports a clean hex lattice as vector SVG line art.

Key parameters

• Orientation — Flat‑top (edges horizontal) or Pointy‑top (vertices up/down).
• Columns / Rows — How many hex cells are generated.
• Size (px) — Scale of each hex cell.
• Line Width / Opacity / Line Color — Stroke styling.

Unique highlights

• Six‑direction alignment for technical, cartographic, and sci‑fi aesthetics.
• Strong pattern identity that reads clearly even at low opacity.
• Easy to combine with dot grids, triangulations, and polar elements.

Typical use cases

• Tabletop and strategy game hex maps.
• UI backgrounds and “tech panel” layouts.
• Packaging patterns, labels, and geometric wallpapers.
• Map design scaffolds (hex‑bin charts, stylized graticules).

Tips

• For a subtle guide, use thin strokes and low opacity; for a bold pattern, increase opacity and line width.
• Choose orientation based on your layout: Flat‑top pairs well with horizontal typography; Pointy‑top feels more vertical and dynamic.
• For print, export larger and keep stroke weight moderate to avoid broken ultra‑thin lines.
