Abstract
We give one formulation of a procedure of Hanany and Vegh (J High Energy Phys 0710(029):35, 2007) which takes a lattice polygon as an input and produces a set of isoradial dimer models. We study the case of lattice triangles in detail and discuss the relation with coamoebas following Feng et al. (Adv Theor Math Phys 12(3):489–545, 2008).
