title: How to add clipboard support to Matplotlib figures?
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>Can this option easily be added to Matplotlib figures? Preferably, all MPL figures should automatically benefit from this functionality.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using MPL's Qt4Agg backend, with PySide.</p>
