Clipboard IO (Text + Image)

Image Read using Rust + arboard

https://crates.io/crates/arboard

FYI, this package is cross platform.

The following Example read image from clipboard and write to a file (rust-clipboard-img.png)

// cargo add image
// cargo add arboard
 
use std::convert::TryInto;
use arboard::*;
use image::*;
 
fn main() {
    let mut clipboard = Clipboard::new().unwrap();
    let image = match clipboard.get_image() {
        Ok(img) => img,
        Err(e) => {
            eprintln!("error getting image: {}", e);
            return;
        }
    };
    eprintln!("getting {}x{} image", image.width, image.height);
 
    let image: RgbaImage = ImageBuffer::from_raw(
        image.width.try_into().unwrap(),
        image.height.try_into().unwrap(),
        image.bytes.into_owned(),
    )
    .unwrap();
    let image = DynamicImage::ImageRgba8(image);
    image.save("rust-clipboard-img.png").unwrap();
}
