[Campaign] Drawing Hexes

Or just draw a Hex using a graphics package (paint for example), you can use
the grid reference and geometry to ensure that it is correct. Then just Copy
and paste a few times and you have a realtion called Bob.

I dont have an URL for this, but anyone who wants it should be bale to find it
from what I have. It's a package for making graph papers, all kinds including
hex paper, offset squares, even polar coordinates. Its very useful, and I
recommend it. The version I have is freeware, I don't know that it

still is.

OK, I found the URL, however it is no longer free. There is US$ 20 fee for it,
along with a 7 day trial period. Here s the URL anyway, as it is a useful tool
for many applications, and someone might find it worth the money.

The same site has a selection of other software, both free and otherwise,
intended for clinical and lab work.

Steve Jackson Games has some simple hex grid PDFs drawn up for download:

http://www.sjgames.com/gameaids/gurps/hexgrid-2.pdf

They also have the PS files used to make these, which have been designed to be
edited by users to change the size of the hexes and sub-hexes:

These can be sent directly to any PostScript capable printer, or if you don't
have one, you can use GhostScript (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) to
view and
print the files on a non-PostScript printer.

Several other programs for map creation can be found here:
