Print from a numbered hexagonal grid generator
A numbered hexagonal grid generator prints a finite honeycomb with a digit in each cell, then exports the sheet as PDF, PNG, or SVG. The editor opens on a centered cluster numbered 1–19 at a 15 mm radius on A4 portrait. Set Number of hexagons to 31 when you need a month tracker; leave the default when 19 cells are enough. Hexagonal Graph Paper still fills the printable area with empty hexes for maps. Use this page when the numbers themselves are the reason to print.
Set a finite range
- Number of hexagons: How many cells to print, from 1 to 400. The editor default is 19.
- Start numbering from: The digit in the first cell (0–9999). Keep 1 for a sheet numbered 1 to 31; set Number of hexagons to 31.
- Show numbers: Turning the toggle off keeps the same honeycomb and only hides the digits. Start numbering from and Number color stay on the form but cannot be edited until the toggle is on.
- No scale-to-fit: If 15 mm hexes no longer fit after you lengthen the range, reduce hex size. The page does not shrink cells to squeeze them in.
Centered, rows, or pyramid
- Centered: The default packs cells into a compact hex-of-hexes. A short last row sits in the middle of the row above it.
- Rows: Cells fill left to right across the column count you set (1–30, default 7). A short last row stays left-aligned.
- Pyramid: Rows grow 1, 2, 3… from the top. Leftover cells form a short last row, also left-aligned.
- Columns: The column control appears only in Rows. Centered and pyramid ignore it.
- Pointy-top only: Every layout draws pointy-top hexes. This tool has no flat-top switch.
Size, color, and print
- Hex size: Radius from the center to a vertex, 5–50 mm (default 15 mm). Two-digit numbers stay readable around 12–15 mm.
- Fill, stroke, and type: Cell fill sits on the Hex row; number color sits beside Start numbering from; grid line color sits on Grid Line Style. Line weight runs from 0.1 mm to 0.8 mm.
- Paper: A4, A3, A5, or Letter, portrait or landscape, with margins up to 50 mm and optional centering inside those margins.
- Print: Export PDF and print at Actual Size (100%). Fit to Page changes the printed radius and the numbers no longer match the setting.
