How to add clipboard support to Matplotlib figures?
The last comment is very useful.

Install the package with
pip install addcopyfighandler

Import the module after importing matplotlib, for instance:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import matplotlib.font_manager as fm 
from matplotlib.cm import get_cmap
import addcopyfighandler

Use ctr + C to copy the Figure to the clipboard


And enjoy.
In MATLAB, there is a very convenient option to copy the current figure to the clipboard. Although Python/numpy/scipy/matplotlib is a great alternative to MATLAB, such an option is unfortunately missing.
Can this option easily be added to Matplotlib figures? Preferably, all MPL figures should automatically benefit from this functionality.
I'm using MPL's Qt4Agg backend, with PySide.
