How to copy a picture from canvas to clipboard?

Question

I have some Tkinter canvas and some picture of lines and text on it. Is there an easy way to copy it to a clipboard?

Answer 1

You could use .postscript method of the canvas to get an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) representation of the contents. Then, use `ImageMagick's Python bindings (PythonMagick or PythonMagickWand) to convert the EPS to a Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF). Finally, copy it to the clipboard (e.g. using nosklo's solution) with the CF_ENHMETAFILE clipboard format.
