<h2>Using the Clipboard</h2>
<p>You can
paste any image from the system wide
clipboard into <em>xyscan</em> using the <tt>Edit->Paste Image</tt> menu
command.</p>
<p> This is an especially
powerful feature that allows you to grab plots from
PDF documents, Power Point, Keynote, OpenOffice, and many other applications and paste
them directly into <em>xyscan</em>. In Acrobat Reader
use the snapshot tool to copy an rectangle to the clipboard.
Remember that the plot will appear in <em>xyscan</em> in exactly the
same size as you see it in the Acrobat Reader. The larger the plot the more precise the scan
will be. Although you can increase the size of the plot once loaded using the <em>Plot Adjustments</em> dialog (see <a href="stilted.html">Rotating and Scaling Plots</a>) this typically will <strong>not</strong> increase the precision.</p>
