Hex-map size?

In viewing the  Creating Marketplace Assets page on the wiki, you can find the suggested sizes for maps and map tiles.  But the sizes are for squares.  Some games use hexes for movement and such, and so I would like to ask what the suggested sizes are for hexagonal maps?
So nobody knows the sizes of the hexes of the hexmap?

The relationship of the hexagon grid to the square grid is approximately 1.33 to 1. &nbsp;When you add graphics to Roll20, they will be snapped to the square grid, so depending on how you are creating them, you'll either want to make your hexagons about 93 pixels tip-to-tip for maps, or double that for tokens.&nbsp; Hexagons are a bit hard to deal with for obvious reasons. &nbsp;I spent a bit of time playing with them in an effort to find a good template for making them on roll20. &nbsp;Here's one I made that I think is pretty good: It looks like this laid out:

Ah, and as Sky HB points out, there are some more details here (direct link to the section): &nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Image_Best_Practices_for_R" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Image_Best_Practices_for_R</a>...
Thank you for that link, the both of you. :) &nbsp;I had not seen that page, only the one with the 'best size' dimensions which doesn't list hexes. The Aaron, thank you for image reference and sizes. &nbsp;I'll be mucking about to make some templates, so those help!
