clipboard-pixmap

Arguments: nil

This function is deprecated. Use clipboard-object instead.

clipboard-pixmap creates a Common Graphics pixmap object from the device-independent bitmap (DIB) that is currently on the Windows clipboard, and returns it. (If there is no DIB currently on the clipboard, then nil is returned instead.) This allows a Common Graphics application to retrieve and use a pixmap that was placed ("copied") onto the clipboard by another application.

The setf function, (setf clipboard-pixmap) places a Common Graphics pixmap onto the Windows clipboard as the current device-independent bitmap (DIB), ready for other applications to "paste" it or otherwise retrieve it.

pixmap is the pixmap to "copy" to the Windows clipboard.

Example:

(setf (clipboard-pixmap) my-pixmap)
