Thread Subject: copy image data to clipboard

Hi,

I have an image in an axes in a GUI that has various buttons
and text boxes, etc. I would like to copy the image data to
the clipboard, but without the buttons and text boxes.

At present, the only way I found to do this was to get the
CData from the axes in the GUI, create a new figure with
only the CData in it, print the image to the clipboard, and
finally close the figure. Isn't there a more direct way to
do this? Having a temporary figure flash on the screen seems
a little dodgy... [code at bottom]

Thanks,
J


I also found another person's (unanswered) post on basically
the same question.

CData = get(get(handles.axes1,'children'),'CData');
sz = size(CData);
h = figure;
imshow(CData)
set(gcf,'position',[100 100 sz(2) sz(1)])
set(gca,'position',[0 0 1 1])
print -dbitmap -r300
close(h)

Hi,
maybe this could be of some help...

Hi Alessandro,

Thanks for the link...it could be useful for a different
application of mine, but I don't think it solves the problem
of copying CData to the clipboard.
