 Hex Line of Sight
Sometimes, though, it is desireable to compute LOS not just by trying to draw as straight a line as can be formed formed from hexagons, but by finding all the hexagons that intersect a Euclidean line drawn on the hexagonal grid.
If our "line" is a infinite half-ray (ie an arrow which starts at a given hexagon but continues on forever), then this corresponds to the set of hexagons which would be "visible" by someone standing at a particular hexagon and looking in a given direction; it is the Euclidean LOS mapped to the hexagonal grid.
The following algorithm works by "following" the line as it intersects hexagons; we begin at hexagon h0 and we check to see which side of the hexagon the line exits from---the hexagon adjacent in that direction is the next one on the list.

 Review | Line of Sight by Jack Kelly
Line of Sight, Jack Kelly's fourth novel (after Apalachin, Protection and Mad Dog), is a classic noir story: a good man succumbs to the wiles of a bad, beautiful woman.
Most of the other cops are uncomfortable with his willingness to breach the thin blue line rather than protect a fellow officer with his silence.
And his only real friend, detective Frank Kaiser, is sinking into a deep funk because he's convinced his wife is cheating on him and his marriage is over (he's right) and he is not exactly a useful sounding board.

If a line drawn from the starting point to the end point intersects the earth profile on the chart, then you probably don't have a line of sight path between the two points.
If the line doesn't intersect the profile, you may have a line of sight path.
I can't vouch for the accuracy of plots at that length, but you and I already know that there are no line of sight paths that long for anybody but pilots and mountain climbers.

Although, to be honest, I think I have my finger on the pulse as far as these things are concerned and it takes a lot more than a vulgar off the cuff remark from a middle class wideboy to get a blind persons dander up.
For example, your normal everyday Joe has sufficient three dimensional sight to get him through his day: crossing roads, opening doors and eating burgers.
However, a small percentage of people have only two dimensional sight, which, while perfectly adequate for reading and writing, can lead to a daily routine of 'You've Been Framed' proportions, as they cannot judge distances between objects.

 THE MYSTERY READER reviews: Line of Sight by Jack Kelly
Readers who are looking for a taut police procedural mystery will be disappointed in Line of Sight.
The book is stronger on character development than on plot and pacing; a lot of time is devoted to gazing at the stars (Ray’s hobby is astronomy) and waiting around for something to happen.
Ray Dolan is a hero in only the literary protagonist sense of the word-the compromises and concessions he makes are frequently blameworthy rather than heroic.
