ImageClipboard.jl

Copy & Paste images with Julia

Install

pkg> add ImageClipboard

Usage

Just like clipboard in InteractiveUtils deals with string contents, this package provides clipboard_img to work with image contents:

using Images, ImageClipboard
# Create a random image
img = rand(RGB{N0f8}, 100, 200)
# Copy the image to the clipboard
clipboard_img(img)
# Paste the image from the clipboard
img2 = clipboard_img()
# These are the same images
img == img2  # true

Sample screenshots

Julia Compatibility
