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
