 ```
 
+To properly initialise instances of the new class, the new slot must be populated with a default value in the event that users do not specify a bin resolution.
+
+For this, we need to create a new method for the generic `initialize()` and the new class.
+We set the default resolution to 100 hexagonal bins along each axis.

 ### Creating a constructor function
 
 It is best practice to give users a function to create objects a particular class.
