<p>I am wondering if current R raster operations (e.g. `extract()`,
`resample()`, distance(), etc.) can be modified to work with
honeycomb (hexagonal) grids instead of simple square grids? This
is driven by e.g. work at Uber <a moz-do-not-send="true"

and other articles <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p>I'm being asked to evaluate the pros/cons of using different
tessellations, and wondering what's the extent of R's support for
non square grids.<br>

<p>Many thanks, --Mel.</p>
