R help - Jun 2009 - Programmatically copying a graphic to the clipboard

Hi all,

Is there a cross-platform way to do this?  On the mac, I cando this by
saving an eps file, and then using pbcopy. Is it possible on other
platforms?

Possible using RGtk2. Just need to get it into a GdkPixbuf. See
gtkClipboardSetImage(). To get a graphic as a pixbuf, you can use
cairoDevice (drawing to a GdkPixmap and copying over), or output the graphic
to a temporary file and read it back in.
