Class AutomatSummary

java.lang.Object
  jmri.jmrit.automat.AutomatSummary

public class AutomatSummary
extends Object

A singlet providing access to information about existing Automat instances.

It might not always be a singlet, however, so for now we're going through an explicit instance() reference.

This can be invoked from various threads, so switches to the Swing thread to notify it's own listeners.
