Positive Traits
- Largely isotropic.
- Resolution can be easily increased by binary division.
- Does not suffer from over sampling near the poles like more traditional rectangular longitude/latitude square grids.
- Does not result in dense linear systems like spectral methods do (see also Gaussian grid).
- No single points of contact between neighboring grid cells. Square grids and isometric grids suffer from the ambiguous problem of how to handle neighbors that only touch at a single point.
- Cells can be both minimally distorted and near-equal-area. In contrast, square grids are not equal area, while equal-area rectangular grids vary in shape from equator to poles.

Famous quotes containing the words positive and/or traits:
“Men just don’t “get” that the reason to become involved is for ourselves. Doing more with our children won’t simply make women happier or keep them “off our backs,” but will create a deeper, more positive connection with the kids.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“For the myth is the foundation of life; it is the timeless schema, the pious formula into which life flows when it reproduces its traits out of the unconscious.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
