A proof of the transformation from Satisfiablity to Graph coloring.

I have plenty of examples of hamiltonian paths cycle,covers, and clique.But not coloring..

Anybody no any site, texts or journals that show this.If so be specific, Journal number volume etc.

Can't you convert them both to some sort of covering problem (or other common type of NP problem)? That would prove equivalence (you know, a = b, b = c, therefore a = c and all that). It's been a while since I was a discrete mathematics TA, so I'd have to dig up some textbooks to find more details, but that's how I'd try to attack it.

are you asking about like fourth dimension analysis, i.e. force distribution on a 3D object with like coloring to indicate intensity, or is this something different?
