cathar1244 -> overlay hex grid on image file (12/21/2021 9:41:34 AM)

In Captain Maxwell's thread regarding his phenomenal work with QGIS, I mentioned that I would like to have an app that overlayed a hex grid on an image file as an aid in making maps.

So, found this. Paint.net is a free graphics program. With paint.net, one can obtain plugins. The plugin "hexagrid.dll" can be put into the "effects" folder of paint.net .

Load a map into paint.net as an image.

Then go to the menu "effects-->render-->hexagonal grid

From there, one can size the hexes, orient the grain, etc. Seems easier than using mkhexgrid.

Here is an image I produced just as a test.

Cheers

This is version 2.0. Not sure if there is a newer version.

Cheers
