1 """Switchboard class.
3 This class is used to coordinate updates among all Viewers. Every Viewer must
4 conform to the following interface:
6 - it must include a method called update_yourself() which takes three
7 arguments; the red, green, and blue values of the selected color.
9 - When a Viewer selects a color and wishes to update all other Views, it
10 should call update_views() on the Switchboard object. Not that the
11 Viewer typically does *not* update itself before calling update_views(),
12 since this would cause it to get updated twice.
