Hilaire may be you should turn the copied canvas into a png because it is not clear how external tools will be able to do something with an internal representation of the screen. Stef On Sun, Aug 27, 2017 at 6:18 PM, Peter Uhnák <i.uhnak@gmail.com> wrote:

I don't know about other platforms, but on linux the clipboard is implemented in this 8kloc C file https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/e0ce2d9d78c3c7b37bbc12cd8730c...

e.g. getting the selection https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/d06aa80a38bc1b6d1f4cc54301eca...

From the comments around the code I gather that the author(s) were aware that images can be copied around in clipboard. Whether it actually works I do no know.

(it would be if the clipboard-related code wrote itself into a nice separate file/plugin :))

Hi,

A Dr. Geo user asked me about copying a DrGeo canvas view in the system clipboard, to past it in other tools as a text writer or any other editing tool.

I looked in Pharo3 and Pharo6, I found text clipboard operation but it is not clear if there is support for other format?

What about primAddClipboardData:data:dataFormat:

I would like to copy and paste the DrGeo canvas as PNG content.
