How to copy a picture from canvas to clipboard?
You could use .postscript
method of the canvas to get an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) representation of the contents. Then, use `ImageMagick's Python bindings (PythonMagick or PythonMagickWand) to convert the EPS to a Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF). Finally, copy it to the clipboard (e.g. using nosklo's solution) with the CF_ENHMETAFILE clipboard format.
To use windows clipboard you must convert the image data to a format accepted by win api. Then, just use this function:
import win32clipboarddef send_to_clibboard(clip_type, data): win32clipboard.OpenClipboard() win32clipboard.EmptyClipboard() win32clipboard.SetClipboardData(clip_type, data) win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
Where clip_type
can be win32clipboard.CF_BITMAP
, win32clipboard.CF_TIFF
or many others.
