To make a subsector (8x10 hexes) using a "Hex Side" with width 30, set "Paper Width" to 376, and "Paper Height" to 547.

To make a sector (32x40 hexes) using a "Hex Side" with width 15, set "Paper Width" to 712, and "Paper Height" to 1054.

Adding hex numbers only work for hexes with sides with more than 20 pixels. (The text will be too small to fit otherwise...)

Examples:

• Subsector with hexside 38.
• Sector with hexside 8. (Spinward Marches Foreven Sector Solomani Rim Ley (T20))
• Sector with hexside 22.
• Sector with hexside 42.
• Domain (4 sectors) with hexside 8. (Spica Domain)
