# Hexagon-drawing characters
A monospace character set designed to draw hexagons, that can be used in flat files or a terminal.
It aims to be the equivalent of the [box-drawing characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_Drawing) for hexagons.
This set is designed with 2 line styles: *simple* and *double*, and allow mixing both.
Checkout the demo [here](https://roipoussiere.github.io/hexagon-drawing-characters/).
## Large flat-top hexagons
This set is used to draw flat-top hexagons and contains 34 glyphs.
The smallest hexagon can be drawn on a 5x3 grid and contains 3 free slots in the center of each hexagon, that can be used to include any other monospace character.
### Simple lines (11 glyphs)
### Double lines (11 glyphs)
### Mixed (12 glyphs)
## Large pointy-top hexagons
This set is used to draw pointy-top hexagons and contains 42 glyphs.
Like in the flat-top set, the smallest hexagon can be drawn on a 5x3 grid and also contains 3 free slots in the center of each hexagon, that can be used to include any other monospace character.
### Simple line (15 glyphs)
### Double line (15 glyphs)
### Mixed (12 glyphs)
## Small pointy-top hexagons
This light set is used to draw small pointy-top hexagons and is only provided as sinple-line style.
The smallest hexagon can be drawn on a 3x3 grid and contains 1 free slot in the center of each hexagon, that can be used to include any other monospace character.
