COMMENTS
The hexagonal lattice is the familiar 2-dimensional lattice in which each point has 6 neighbors. This is sometimes called the triangular lattice.
Also the number of triangles with vertices on points of the hexagonal lattice that have area equal to n/2. - Amihay Hanany, Oct 15 2009 [Here the area is measured in the units of the lattice unit cell area; since the number of the triangles of different shapes with the same half-integral area is infinite, the triangles are probably counted up to the equivalence relation defined in the Davey, Hanany and Rak-Kyeong Seong paper. Also, this comment probably belongs to A003051, not here. - Andrey Zabolotskiy, Mar 10 2018 and Jul 04 2019]
Also number of 2n-vertex connected cubic vertex-transitive graphs which are Cayley graphs for a dihedral group [Potočnik et al.]. - N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 19 2014

FORMULA
Let n = Product_{i=1..w} p_i^e_i. Then a(n) = (1/6)*n*Product_{i=1..w} (1 + 1/p_i) + (C_1)/3 + 2^(w-2+C_2),
where C_1 = 0 if 2|n or 9|n, = Product_{i=1..w, p_i > 3} (1 + Legendre(p_i, 3)) otherwise,
and C_2 = 2 if n == 0 (mod 8), 1 if n == 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 (mod 8), 0 if n == 2, 6 (mod 8).
EXAMPLE
For n = 6 the 3 primitive triples are 510, 411, 321.
