[postgis-users] making Hexagoan from coordinate x, y and using distance

[Mike Toews]

Oh bummer! I just re-read your hexagon requirement. I must have
misread octa- somewhere. Hexa- is not possible with the buffer hack
(since hexa- is not divisible by octa-). You will need to define a
template hexagon, then use some affine transform parameters to
translate/scale it to the correct place. This function sort-of does
it:

although the base hexagon looks a bit odd...
