Copy and paste the image from the clipboard
Under Linux system, we need to install the xclip tool.
Copy an image to the clipboard through one of the following commands:
- If the image is in
PNGformat then use the following command
xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i image.png
- If the image is in
JGEG/JPGformat, then use the following command
xclip -selection clipboard -t image/jpeg -i image.jpg
Under the Windows system, we can directly use the system function to copy a
picture.
Use Ctrl+v directly in the canvas to paste the image into the canvas,
and it will automatically create an image box.
