This is a great project and something I've been looking for for a while. Thanks for sharing it.

At the Open Data Institute Leeds node (ODILeeds) we defined a JSON format for sharing hex-based maps. It is quite basic but lets people add extra data to their hexes too. We've already created some hex maps (by hand) including UK constituencies and ward maps for some councils. People have also made tools for D3.js and R to read maps saved in the format. It'd be great if hexmapr could save generated hex maps in the HexJSON format.

Hi @slowe thanks for alerting me to this. I follow ODI activities but was not aware of this and will look into it.

The grid system seems logical and shouldn't be too challenging to implement.

If it would be possible to add a link to this repo in the other versions section of the Hex Map page that would be amazing.

Best.

Hello!

Was the HexJSON export ability added to the package?
