How to replicate a hexagon pattern in a given area of 100x100

Hi all,

I need the guidance from experts as I am little bit confused about how to replicate this hexagon pattern as shown in Figure in an area of 100x100. Because I am not getting how to apply for loop in height and width so that I can get a pattern of hexagons in 100x100.

Need your guidance. My code can be found in attached Replicating_cell_layout1.m file.

I will be thankful for your kind and urgent reply.

   function draw_pattern
       r = 2;
       dx = r;
       dy = r*sin(pi/3);

       figure;
       axes;
       hold on;
       for x = 0:dx:100
           for y = 0:dy:100
               aHex = new_hexagon([x y],r);
               plot(aHex(:,1),aHex(:,2),'color','blue');
           end
       end
   end

   function aHex = new_hexagon(center,radius)
      N = 6;
      phi = (2*pi/N)*(0:N)';
      aHex = ones(N+1,1)*center + radius * [  cos(phi)  sin(phi)  ];
   end

I accidentally made two mistakes in my code. Maybe you can try to find the errors and then correct them. It's a good exercise for learning how to program in MATLAB.

Thanks Rick Rosson,

But the output is weird that I am not getting why one of hexagon on each line is overlapping on other titled square.

Can you guide me further. Thanks

Hi,

I want to put a plus marks on the black spotted points and its a fix pattern and I want this to be generic so that if I change the size the plus marks can be printed in the same pattern.

Can anyone guide me about some logic or for loop iteration....
