Octagonal Grids

I would like an option to have Octagonal(H) type grid on the roll20 map: Currently, When using Hex (V) Tokens or players are able to go left or right without a problem, but it gives them difficulty going straight up or straight down. and Hex(H) has the same problem but instead characters can go only up or down, but they cannot go left or right on the grid. If we had an Octagonal(H) grid type a player would have the option of going Horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

Wouldn't there be square gaps between the octagons? Would that just be dead space?

Just tried to make the grid in paint. You are right, there is a gap between octagons. Seems this idea will not work. And I tried to do it with different geometric shapes, and it seems that anything higher than 6 will not work for the simple reason that it slowly becomes more and more like a circle.
