title: Is it possible to copy a canvas image to the clipboard?
body: <p>I've created an image from my canvas object by using <code>canvas.toDataURL("image/png", 0.7)</code>. It works fine to save the image from the context menu but it doesn't work to copy the image to the clipboard and paste it into a mail or a word document for example. Is it possible to get "copy to clipboard" to behave the same way it does for a "normal" image?</p>
  
  <p>I'm thinking of creating a small server component that can take the base64 representation of the image and return a "normal" png image that I will be able to copy to clipboard. Could this work as a workaround?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong>
  To clearify: I'm using <code>canvas.toDataURL("image/png", 0.7)</code> to create an image from the canvas and I then set the <code>src</code> attribute of an <code>img</code> tag to the result. I can then select "copy image" from the context menu when right clicking on the image. The problem is then that I can't paste the image into Word and emails (Outlook at least). Pasting into Wordpad and mspaint works fine.</p>
