Typesetting Hex

When creating Hex diagrams for printed media, you can use raster graphics (if their resolution is high enough) or use a vector graphics application. Some tools specific to Hex have been created:

• Meron Brouwer's hexgame is a package for LaTeX
• Tom Ace's golem2eps is an excellent still-improving EPS creator from a SGF file.
• Cameron Browne has a tool for setting Hex diagrams, which he used in his book.
• It is possible to type Hex boards directly into text by using one of the Unicode and ASCII boards
• A website for drawing diagrams and exporting them in SVG format: http://www.mseymour.ca/hex_draw/hexdraw.html
• Some LaTeX code for drawing diagrams with TikZ: https://github.com/matthewseymour/hex_latex
• Another LaTeX package for drawing diagrams with TikZ: https://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/hexboard/
