Hexographer on roll20

I am currently using hexographer to make some maps for my campaign. Has anyone found out the perfect settings I need to do on hexographer (hex width/height, etc) so that I can make it fit into roll20? I read the ways to align hexes on the wiki, however it involves counting and is manual, this is not optimal for large scale maps and is extremely tedious. And by hexes I am talking about (H) not (V).
Gauss has a wonderfully detailed Grid Alignment guide stickied to the top of the forum. While it doesn't specify the default pixel dimensions, it does nicely describe how to make your maps align wit the roll20 grid.. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3688/map-alignme" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3688/map-alignme</a>...
Yes, I know of Gauss' guide, it is also the same one on the wiki. The problem is that it involves manual labor, while it may be fine for a 30x30 map, 100x100 maps will be extremely difficult to adjust because of roll20's unstable edge scrolling. Would the alignment tool work on hexes too? If so what kind of selection do I have to make as it would never get 3x3 properly in hex.

I have made a couple of maps in Hexographer for use in Roll20, I set the Hex Width to "75" and Height to "67". When finished, I used "Export at Current Size as PNG." then converted to a JPG. These maps aligned very well with Roll20's hex grid but I had to use the "Is Drawing" setting on the map graphic so I could stretch it to just the right size all around. I've never made a map as big as the size you're talking about though, mine were around 30x30.

You cannot use the align to grid too for hexes. I've not tried to calculate it before, but I can tell you that the standard hexagons at 200% zoom are 398px x 464px. That should allow you to calculate the ratio to use for sizing your map.
Thank you Brett, Your numbers got it working for me! When set to 75x67 in Hexographer all I need to do in roll20 is stretch to match the size of width or height and then diminish the other a little bit and everything fits in perfectly.
