They can be L or R facing, you can stem most of them, some have finger cracks in the back some, nice Joe Brown hand size in the corner some, you can even layback. They are the lines that your eye is drawn to. They can be short, long, small, huge, crag, alpine....show us your favorite dihedrals!
I'm sure you guys have lots of photos out there are that will make us all drool. Here are a couple of my favorites (I'll leave the big stuff to you animals out there)

A Dihedral is like an open book. A corner is like a book that is open.
A book is neither a dihedral or corner.

People have studied crack climbing, particularly all the weird things you can do to climb an offwidth. But dihedrals also have their own techniques, particularly when the seam in the corner is completely closed except for an RP placement every 10 feet or so. It's all opposition and body friction, really unique type of climbing, and one of my favorites.

They are alpinely known as diedres.
The first I ever encountered was on the East Ridge of Bugaboo Spire.
Cue SLR.

Some have things to stem around...
