comment How many different four coloring exist for a given regular map?
In other words, for example, for maps with hundreds of faces, once a map has been properly four colored, I don't want to count all other colorings that derive from subsequent exchanges of colors. My doubt is how many "different" (in the meaning I explained) coloring exist for a given map? Is there a study on this that can help me?

comment How many different four coloring exist for a given regular map?
For what I'm trying to analyze, K4 has to be regarded as having just one possible coloring. In your K4 example, after the graph has been colored, through subsequent exchanges of colors, each K4 copy can be converted to any other. See this picture: 4coloring.wordpress.com/plus/k4-and-different-four-colorings. In other words, since when coloring K4 vertexes, colors can be choosen arbitrarily, any four coloring is equivalent. For more complex maps swapping colors won't help. I'd like to understand how this is related to the shape of the map. I want to add this tool to my java application.
