Tessellated hexagonal grid?

[Richmond]

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 like this:

*if intersect(img "firstHEX",img "secondHEX",5) then*
