You may cut or copy the entire HIGEAR image, or just a specified rectangular portion of the image, to the clipboard. To copy to the clipboard, call the function IG_clipboard_copy() with the image's HIGEAR handle, and the coordinates of the AT_RECT rectangle that you would like to save to the clipboard. Pass NULL as the rectangle's value to if you want to copy the entire image to the clipboard.

To cut to the clipboard, call IG_clipboard_cut(). The only difference in the prototype of these functions is that IG_clipboard_cut() contains an extra argument for specifying what color pixel to use to replace the pixels that are "cut away". This pixel color argument is usually set to black or white.
