Drawing 'n' number(s) of hexagon

how to draw hexagon in a picturebox, and what should i do to make it scalable (bigger scale number will make more hexagon in smaller size : the picture box's size is constant) :(

You should start by writing a routine to draw a hexagon given it's center position and radius. Then you need to write a routine to loop through X and Y values on the picture box, drawing the hexagons. Remember to space the hexagons apart by their radius, so that you have room to draw the next row inbetwen.

A hexagon draw routine is essentially a circle draw routine with a really coarse increment. You go like this:

for i=0 to pi*2 step pi/3
line step(0,0)-(radius*cos(i),radius*sin(i))
next i

I posted some code some time ago that drew a hexagonal grid....ah yes, here it is....

thanks, everyone... i've tried your helps, and i've come to this two codes, but they are all messy, can anyone please check what's wrong with it ?
