<p><strong>EXPERIMENTAL!</strong>: This API may change or disappear in later pygame releases. If
you use this, your code may break with the next pygame release.</p>
<p>The scrap module is for transferring data to/from the clipboard. This allows
for cutting and pasting data between pygame and other applications. Some basic
data (MIME) types are defined and registered:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span> <span class="n">pygame</span> <span class="n">string</span>
<span class="n">constant</span> <span class="n">value</span> <span class="n">description</span>
<span class="o">--------------------------------------------------</span>
<span class="n">SCRAP_TEXT</span> <span class="s2">&quot;text/plain&quot;</span> <span class="n">plain</span> <span class="n">text</span>
<span class="n">SCRAP_BMP</span> <span class="s2">&quot;image/bmp&quot;</span> <span class="n">BMP</span> <span class="n">encoded</span> <span class="n">image</span> <span class="n">data</span>
<span class="n">SCRAP_PBM</span> <span class="s2">&quot;image/pbm&quot;</span> <span class="n">PBM</span> <span class="n">encoded</span> <span class="n">image</span> <span class="n">data</span>
<span class="n">SCRAP_PPM</span> <span class="s2">&quot;image/ppm&quot;</span> <span class="n">PPM</span> <span class="n">encoded</span> <span class="n">image</span> <span class="n">data</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.SCRAP_PPM</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.SCRAP_PBM</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.SCRAP_BMP</span></code> are
suitable for surface buffers to be shared with other applications.
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.SCRAP_TEXT</span></code> is an alias for the plain text clipboard type.</p>
<p>Depending on the platform, additional types are automatically registered when
data is placed into the clipboard to guarantee a consistent sharing behaviour
with other applications. The following listed types can be used as strings to
be passed to the respective <a class="tooltip reference internal" href="#module-pygame.scrap" title=""><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.scrap</span></code><span class="tooltip-content">pygame module for clipboard support.</span></a> module functions.</p>
<p>For <strong>Windows</strong> platforms, these additional types are supported automatically
and resolve to their internal definitions:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">&quot;text/plain;charset=utf-8&quot;</span> <span class="n">UTF</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="mi">8</span> <span class="n">encoded</span> <span class="n">text</span>
<span class="s2">&quot;audio/wav&quot;</span> <span class="n">WAV</span> <span class="n">encoded</span> <span class="n">audio</span>
<span class="s2">&quot;image/tiff&quot;</span> <span class="n">TIFF</span> <span class="n">encoded</span> <span class="n">image</span> <span class="n">data</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>For <strong>X11</strong> platforms, these additional types are supported automatically and
resolve to their internal definitions:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s2">&quot;text/plain;charset=utf-8&quot;</span> <span class="n">UTF</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="mi">8</span> <span class="n">encoded</span> <span class="n">text</span>
<span class="s2">&quot;UTF8_STRING&quot;</span> <span class="n">UTF</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="mi">8</span> <span class="n">encoded</span> <span class="n">text</span>
<span class="s2">&quot;COMPOUND_TEXT&quot;</span> <span class="n">COMPOUND</span> <span class="n">text</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>User defined types can be used, but the data might not be accessible by other
applications unless they know what data type to look for.
Example: Data placed into the clipboard by
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.scrap.put(&quot;my_data_type&quot;,</span> <span class="pre">byte_data)</span></code> can only be accessed by
applications which query the clipboard for the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;my_data_type&quot;</span></code> data type.</p>
<p>For an example of how the scrap module works refer to the examples page
(<a class="tooltip reference internal" href="examples.html#pygame.examples.scrap_clipboard.main" title=""><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.examples.scrap_clipboard.main()</span></code><span class="tooltip-content">access the clipboard</span></a>) or the code directly in GitHub
(<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pygame/pygame/blob/main/examples/scrap_clipboard.py">pygame/examples/scrap_clipboard.py</a>).</p>
