If I understand you correctly:

The ratio of width/height of a hexagon is (2 x cos(60) + 1)/(2 x sin(60) ~1.732
You can use this ratio or multiple to base your image size/resolution on
eg: 600 x 520
Due to rounding and that pixels need to be integers there is a slight
distortion, but it shouldn't be noticeable (actual size 600 x 519.6152, image
width is only 0.074% larger)
