Detailed Description

Utilities for reading and writing images to the system clipboard.

This class provides platform-specific clipboard operations for images, going beyond JUCE's text-only clipboard support. It handles the native image formats for each platform (NSImage on macOS, HBITMAP on Windows, etc.).

Unlike juce::SystemClipboard which only handles text, this allows you to copy and paste images directly to/from the system clipboard for integration with other applications.
