Flat orientation hexagon shape

[ishtanzar]

Hi,
I may be missing something but I can't figure out how to build an hexagon-shaped grid with flat orientation hexes:

const Hex = Honeycomb.extendHex({
            size: 1,
            orientation: 'flat'
        });
const hexGrid = Honeycomb.defineGrid(Hex);
const hexMap = hexGrid.hexagon({radius: 15});

I tried specifying the center with .hexagon({radius: 15, center: Hex(0)}) without better luck so far.
Note: I don't have this issue with a rectangle.
Any ideas ?
Thanks.

That should work with v3. But it won't work with the beta of v4. I'm planning on releasing v4 stable soon, so I would advice you to use the beta now. The spiral traverser is probably the best way to create a hexagon-shaped grid.

Ok, thanks

The problem with the spiral traverser is it's not the full grid, it's just a selection/highlight of the grid. Or is that the problem with v4 that I've been experiencing?

You can use a traverser to create a grid:

const Hex = defineHex()
const grid = new Grid(Hex, spiral({ start: [1, 2], radius: 2 }))

Or to traverse an existing grid:

const Hex = defineHex()
const grid = new Grid(Hex, rectangle({ with: 5, height: 5 }))

grid.traverse(spiral({ start: [1, 2], radius: 2 }))

Thanks, mate. I found when I used this approach that the coordinates were a bit odd, and not what I needed (I need 0,0 to be the center of the hexagon).

I did end up figuring it out, though - ty very much for your response and help :)

Where did you find docs on the hexagon? I've been wracking my brain trying to figure this out all night =\
