%C Coordination sequence for the bew tiling with respect to a point where two hexagons meet at only a single point. The coordination sequence for the other type of point can be shown to be A008574.
%C Notes: There is one point on the positive x-axis at edge-distance n from the origin iff n is even; there is one point on the positive y-axis at edge-distance n from the origin iff n>1 is odd; and the number of points inside the first quadrant at distance n from 0 is n if n is odd, and n-1 if n is even.
%C Then a(n) = 2*(number on positive x-axis + number on positive y-axis) + 4*(number in interior of first quadrant).
