hexify: Equal-Area Hex Grids on the 'Snyder' 'ISEA' 'Icosahedron'
Provides functions to build and use equal-area hexagonal discrete global grids using the 'Snyder' 'ISEA' projection ('Snyder' 1992 <doi:10.3138/27H7-8K88-4882-1752>). Implements the 'ISEA' discrete global grid system ('Sahr', 'White' and 'Kimerling' 2003 <doi:10.1559/152304003100011090>). Includes a fast 'C++' core for projection and aperture quantization, and 'sf'/'terra'-compatible R wrappers for grid generation and coordinate assignment. Output is compatible with 'dggridR' for interoperability.
