public class CopyToClipboardCommand

extends Command

copy jfig objects to the system clipboard.

CopyToClipboardCommand allows the user to copy single or multiple jfig objects to the system clipboard. To allow for data-exchange with other applications (like xfig and text editors), the objects are written to the clipboard as text data in FIG file format.

The command first collects all objects clicked on (at/near the mouse position), until the user uses a right-click ("meta"+click or "shift+click) to finish and execute the command.
