Triangle read by rows: T(n,m) is the number of inequivalent n X m matrices under action of the Klein group, with one-third each of 1s, 2s and 3s (ordered occurrences rounded up/down if m*n != 0 mod 3).

FORMULA
G.f.: g(x1,x2,x3)=(y1^(m*n) + 3*y2^(m*n/2))/4 for even n and m;
(y1^(m*n) + y1^n*y2^((m*n-m)/2) + 2*y2^(m*n/2))/4 for odd n and even m;
(y1^(m*n) + y1^m*y2^((m*n-n)/2) + 2*y2^(m*n/2))/4 for even n and odd m;
(y1^(m*n) + y1^n*y2^((m*n-n)/2) + y1^m*y2^((m*n-m)/2) + y1*y2^((m*n-1)/2))/4 for odd n and m; where coefficient correspond to y1=x1+x2+x3, y2=x1^2+x2^2+x3^2, and occurrences of numbers are ceiling(m*n/3) for the first k numbers and floor(m*n/3) for the last (3-k) numbers, if m*n = k mod 3.
EXAMPLE
For n = 3 and m = 2 the T(3,2) = 27 solutions are colorings of 3 X 2 matrices in 3 colors inequivalent under the action of the Klein group with exactly 2 occurrences of each color (coefficient of x1^2 x2^2 x3^2).
