- """Switchboard class.
-
- This class is used to coordinate updates among all Viewers. Every Viewer must
- conform to the following interface:
-
- - it must include a method called update_yourself() which takes three
- arguments; the red, green, and blue values of the selected color.
-
- - When a Viewer selects a color and wishes to update all other Views, it
- should call update_views() on the Switchboard object. Not that the
- Viewer typically does *not* update itself before calling update_views(),
- since this would cause it to get updated twice.
-
- Optionally, Viewers can also implement:
-
- - save_options() which takes an optiondb (a dictionary). Store into this
- dictionary any values the Viewer wants to save in the persistent
- ~/.pynche file. This dictionary is saved using marshal. The namespace
- for the keys is ad-hoc; make sure you don't clobber some other Viewer's
- keys!
-
- - withdraw() which takes no arguments. This is called when Pynche is
- unmapped. All Viewers should implement this.
-
- - colordb_changed() which takes a single argument, an instance of
- ColorDB. This is called whenever the color name database is changed and
- gives a chance for the Viewers to do something on those events. See
- ListViewer for details.
-
- External Viewers are found dynamically. Viewer modules should have names such
- as FooViewer.py. If such a named module has a module global variable called
- ADDTOVIEW and this variable is true, the Viewer will be added dynamically to
- the `View' menu. ADDTOVIEW contains a string which is used as the menu item
- to display the Viewer (one kludge: if the string contains a `%', this is used
- to indicate that the next character will get an underline in the menu,
- otherwise the first character is underlined).
-
- FooViewer.py should contain a class called FooViewer, and its constructor
- should take two arguments, an instance of Switchboard, and optionally a Tk
- master window.
