Abstract

We define the algebraic discrete geometry to hexagonal grid system on a plane. Since a hexagon is an element for tiling on a plane, hexagons are suitable as elements of discrete objects. For the description of linear objects in a discrete space, algebraic discrete geometry provides a unified treatment employing double Diophantus equations. Furthermore, we develop an algorithm for the polygonalisation of discrete objects on the hexagonal grid system.
