Class SimpleClipGraphics

java.lang.Object

org.qenherkhopeshef.graphics.vectorClipboard.SimpleClipGraphics

public class SimpleClipGraphics
extends java.lang.Object

A very simple class to perform vector cut and paste.

It provides a variety of format. In some of those, the data is formated as RTF, which can be pasted into most word processors.

You can select the vector format embedded in the picture. The default value is PictureFormat.MACPICT which works more or less everywhere.

For better quality, you might choose PictureFormat.EMF. However, it doesn't render correctly in Word on Mac OS X. It renders well in all versions of Openoffice, though.

Note that in some cases you will need something a bit more sophisticated, especially if you want to propose more than one format.
