is part of the
wasysym-package.
This can be printed in
different sizes, for example: \Huge\hexagon. Especially for greater hexagons I wrote a new command \myHexagon{radian}, which draws with the package PSTricks hexagons in any size. The parameter is the radius of the surrounding circle. \myHexagon{2.5cm} gives a hexagon with diameter of 6cm of the surrounding circle: The hexagon is like a single character with the same baseline. The latex preamble looks like:
\usepackage{wasysym}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\newlength{\myL}
\newcommand\myHexagon[1]{%
\setlength{\myL}{#1}
\psset{unit=1.0}
\begin{pspicture}(-0.9511\myL,-0.8090\myL)(0.9511\myL,\myL)
\psline[linewidth=1pt](0.5\myL,-0.866\myL)(-0.5\myL,-0.866\myL)(-\myL,0)(-0.5\myL,0.866\myL)%
(0.5\myL,0.866\myL)(\myL,0)(0.5\myL,-0.866\myL)
\end{pspicture}%
}
It draws only one hexaagon as a polygon in any valid unit, like
- 2cm
- 3inch
- 12pt
