Hexagon Question

Hexagon Question
How is a hexagon measured? It is from point to point through the middle or do you measure one of the outside lines? I wanted to find a free template to print some out but the ones in my pattern measure across the middle of it and it says 1 inch,( 2.5 cm,) and when I put that in my search they come up with templates that are way larger than the one I need. I guess I am confused. Do you buy your hexagon papers or make them? If you do buy them I would appreciate knowing where you get them from. I am not sure I would even order the size I actually need at this point. Sandra

I think they measure one side. This is a great site for things like this:

note: if you make your hexes too big to fit on a piece of typing paper, it just shows a blank page.
