Each individual cell of nine blocks

is divided into four new blocks, with 16 possibilities:
Neighbors: those are the blocks side by side with the central cell

(N, E, S, W)
Corners: those are the blocks at each corner

(NW, NE, SW, SE)
Center: the cell in the middle

The same data source (the matrix) and rules are used to plot the hexagonal view; the only difference is in how the data is presented.
