create_centroids

Create a data frame of longitude and latitude centroids of each polygon.

Create a hexagon tile map display from spatial polygons. Each
polygon is represented by a hexagon tile, placed as close to it's original
centroid as possible, with a focus on maintaining spatial relationship to
a focal point. Developed to aid visualisation and analysis of spatial
distributions across Australia, which can be challenging due to the
concentration of the population on the coast and wide open interior.
