Copying Graphics

Graphical bitmaps may be copied to the clipboard from an Active WinMDI graphical window. The Active graphical window, in order to speed up redraws, has a bitmap. The bitmap may be either DIB or DDB, depending upon the favored format of the application into which you want to paste the image. A window that does have the Active focus, upon a redraw, does not have a bitmap to copy to the clipboard. In order to recreate a bitmap for a non-active window, select Refresh from the window's system menu. Metafiles may also be used to copy graphics with or without text to the clipboard. Selecting Render All Formats causes all the formats, including any statistical text, to be copied from the active window to the clipboard.
