Description

@Fil

The hexbin transform avoids ties on the right edge, but this causes floating bins on the left odd rows.

This issue was initially mentioned in #2365 and worked on in #2367. See also #2377.

Mike suggests: “maybe we can just change the origin of the hex grid so that it’s less likely that hexagons are cut in half along the left and right edges? Like just shift the grid by a quarter hexagon width?”
