How to generate hexagons in javascript based on the center point coordinates and radius length
function drawHexagon (centerPointLatitude, centerPointLongitude, radiusLength) {
const radius = radiusLength / 6371
const angle = 2 * Math.PI / 6 // 2PI (360 degree) divded by 6 points of the hexagon shape
const hexagon = []
for (var i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
const longitude = centerPointLongitude + (radius * Math.cos(angle * i))
const latitude = centerPointLatitude + (radius * Math.sin(angle * i))
hexagon.push([longitude, latitude])
}
// close the polygon adding the initial point
hexagon.push(hexagon[0])
return hexagon
}
