Hi, I'm new to the forum.
This is my GIMP python script for the creation of hexagonal grids, with a "best fit" search algorithm for optimal rasterization.

About the plug-in:
I'd also like to recommend the excellent path-shaped-grid plugin by Ofnuts. My plugin is more specific to hexagons, and I tried not to duplicate the existing one's functionalities too much. I have done a few refinements that I hope will be useful, like image grid adjustment, and search for optimal parameters.
Enjoy!

About the plug-in:
- It creates an hexagonal grid as a vector "path", covering as much as possible of the image's surface.
- The hexagon's ideal dimensions are calculated and then slightly stretched to fit the image's pixels.
- To avoid too much stretching, the algorithm searches for the best size within a user chosen interval.
- Optionally, the path can be stroked on the active or newly created layer.
