Right, however, I naively thought that each hexagon would have it's own center,
and the original pigment's origin would be at that center.

I did try to use a warp to see if the what you said was true, and I did see
other holes, just not where I needed them.

Sam Benge apparently created some macros in 2008 (p.b.s-f) to deal with this,
but I'll have to decipher how to use them.

Chris Huff has some info that I might use to puzzle it out somehow:

I think I might have to write a function pigment with mod() to pattern the
plane.
I feel that all of that shouldn't be necessary...

feature request:  Hex2 pattern which places the pigment's origin at the center
of the hexagons, or automagically creates a new tiled pigment....  :)
