I'm creating a Swing application, and I need to know how to place Images on the system clipboard.

I have been able to successfully paint to a BufferedImage object, and write an image file (.png or .jpg), but I'm not sure how to place an image on the clipboard.

I've written a sub-class of image that implements Transferable, but I'm still having some problems, my questions are:

What object should getTransferData() return? An Image object? The image's Raster? pixel array? And if so, what format should the array be? (There are several types in BufferedImage).

If I store my Transferable Image as MIME type .gif of .bmp or any other standard image format, what object should getTransterData() return? a Pixel array?

In what DataFlavor should it be? I've noticed if I cut image data from MS Paint to the clipboard, java recognizes it's contents as MIME type image/x-java-image, from Class Image. But placing Image objects on the clipboard has not seemed to do me any good.

Any insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated.
