## Detailed Description

Supports copying of graphical data to the clipboard.

After creation of an Fl_Copy_Surface object, call set_current() on it, and all subsequent graphics requests will be recorded in the clipboard. It's possible to draw widgets (using Fl_Copy_Surface::draw() ) or to use any of the Drawing functions or the Color & Font functions. Finally, delete the Fl_Copy_Surface object to load the clipboard with the graphical data.
Fl_GL_Window 's can be copied to the clipboard as well.
Usage example:

Fl_Widget *g = ...; // a widget you want to copy to the clipboard
Fl_Copy_Surface *copy_surf = new Fl_Copy_Surface(g->w(), g->h()); // create an Fl_Copy_Surface object
copy_surf->set_current(); // direct graphics requests to the clipboard
fl_color(FL_WHITE); fl_rectf(0, 0, g->w(), g->h()); // draw a white background
copy_surf->draw(g); // draw the g widget in the clipboard
delete copy_surf; // after this, the clipboard is loaded
Fl_Display_Device::display_device()->set_current(); // direct graphics requests back to the display

Platform details:

- MSWindows: Transparent RGB images copy without transparency. The graphical data are copied to the clipboard as an 'enhanced metafile'.
- Mac OS: The graphical data are copied to the clipboard (a.k.a. pasteboard) in two 'flavors': 1) in vectorial form as PDF data; 2) in bitmap form as a TIFF image. Applications to which the clipboard content is pasted can use the flavor that suits them best.
- X11: the graphical data are copied to the clipboard as an image in BMP format.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ Fl_Copy_Surface()

Fl_Copy_Surface::Fl_Copy_Surface | ( | int | w,
|  | int | h
| ) |  |

Constructor.

Parameters

  w | and
  h | are the width and height of the clipboard surface in pixels where drawing will occur.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ class_name()

const char * Fl_Copy_Surface::class_name | ( |  | ) |
| inlinevirtual

Returns the name of the class of this object.

Use of the class_name() function is discouraged because it will be removed from future FLTK versions.

The class of an instance of an Fl_Device subclass can be checked with code such as:

if ( instance->class_name() == Fl_Printer::class_id ) { ... }

Reimplemented from Fl_Device.

## ◆ draw()

void Fl_Copy_Surface::draw | ( | Fl_Widget * | widget,
|  | int | delta_x = `0`,
|  | int | delta_y = `0`
| ) |  |

Copies a widget in the clipboard.

Parameters

  widget | any FLTK widget (e.g., standard, custom, window, GL view) to copy
  delta_x | and
  delta_y | give the position in the clipboard of the top-left corner of the widget

## ◆ draw_decorated_window()

void Fl_Copy_Surface::draw_decorated_window | ( | Fl_Window * | win,
|  | int | delta_x = `0`,
|  | int | delta_y = `0`
| ) |  |

Copies a window and its borders and title bar to the clipboard.

Parameters

  win | an FLTK window to copy
  delta_x | and
  delta_y | give the position in the clipboard of the top-left corner of the window's title bar

## ◆ set_current()

void Fl_Copy_Surface::set_current | ( | void |  | ) |
| virtual

Make this surface the current drawing surface.

This surface will receive all future graphics requests.

Reimplemented from Fl_Surface_Device.
