I'm not sure what the question in the body of this message has to do with
the question in the Subject, but anyway to answer the one in the body: HELP
CLIPBOARD.

In Windows, after you hit the PrintScreen button on the keyboard, it
puts an image of the current screen into the clipboard. If you type
alt-PrintScreen, it puts an image of the CURRENT active window (which
is not necessarily the whole screen) into the clipboard. The
clipboard function in MATLAB does not seem to be able to handle
importing this kind of data -- I tried by using the line
data = clipboard('pastespecial'); % Doesn't work!

Perhaps you can beg Yair Altman (http://undocumentedmatlab.com/) to
come up with a tricky undocumented way of doing it. Otherwise you'll
have to use an intermediate program such as MSPaint or Photoshop to
save the clipboard out to a standard image file, such as a bmp or tif
image file. Those programs can create a new image based on the
contents of the clipboard
