<p><tt>EXPERIMENTAL!:</tt> meaning this api may change, or dissapear in later pygame releases. If you use this, your code will break with the next pygame release. </p>
<p>The scrap module is for getting and putting stuff from the clipboard. So you can copy and paste things between pygame, and other application types. It defines some basic own data types </p>
<pre> SCRAP_PPM
SCRAP_PBM
SCRAP_BMP
SCRAP_TEXT
</pre><p>to be placed into the clipboard and allows to use define own clipboard types. <tt>SCRAP_PPM</tt>, <tt>SCRAP_PBM</tt> and <tt>SCRAP_BMP</tt> are suitable for surface buffers to be shared with other applications, while <tt>SCRAP_TEXT</tt> is an alias for the plain text clipboard type. </p>
<p>The <tt>SCRAP_*</tt> types refer to the following <tt>MIME</tt> types and register those as well as the default operating system type for this type of data: </p>
<pre> SCRAP_TEXT text/plain for plain text
SCRAP_PBM image/pbm for PBM encoded image data
SCRAP_PPM image/ppm for PPM encoded image data
SCRAP_BMP image/bmp for BMP encoded image data
</pre><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 string to be passed to the respective <tt>pygame.scrap</tt> module functions. </p>
<p>For Windows platforms, the additional types are supported automatically and resolve to their internal definitions: </p>
<pre> text/plain;charset=utf-8 for UTF-8 encoded text
audio/wav for WAV encoded audio
image/tiff for TIFF encoded image data
</pre><p>For <tt>X11</tt> platforms, the additional types are supported automatically and resolve to their internal definitions: </p>
<pre> UTF8_STRING for UTF-8 encoded text
text/plain;charset=utf-8 for UTF-8 encoded text
COMPOUND_TEXT for COMPOUND text
</pre><p>As stated before you can define own types for the clipboard, those however might not be usable by other applications. Thus data pasted into the clipboard using </p>
<pre> pygame.scrap.put ("own_data", data)
</pre><p>can only be used by applications, which query the clipboard for the "own_data" type. </p>
<p>New in pygame <tt>1.8</tt>. Only works for Windows, <tt>X11</tt> and Mac <tt>OS</tt> <tt>X</tt> so far. On Mac <tt>OSX</tt> only text works at the moment - other types will be supported in the next release. </p>
