Hexagonal circle patterns with constant intersection angles are
introduced and studied. It is shown that they are described by
discrete integrable systems of Toda type. Conformally symmetric
patterns are classified. Circle pattern analogs of holomorphic
mappings $z\sp c$ and $\log z$ are constructed as special
isomonodromic solutions. Circle patterns studied in the paper include
Schramm's circle patterns with the combinatorics of the square grid as
a special case.
