Pixel editor : Paste

Pixel editor	Edit menu
Paste

Paste data from the clipboard into the current raster map.

Into a raster map, it is possible to paste:

cut or copied points from a point map,
cut or copied segments from a segment map,
copied polygons boundaries from a polygon map,
cut or copied pixels from a raster map.

Mind:

The map from which you have cut or copied points, segments, polygons or pixels must have the same domain type (i.e. either class, ID, or value, etc.) as the segment map into wish to paste these points, segments, polygons or pixels.

This means that it is not possible to paste for instance copied contour segments (values) into a segment map which uses a class domain and vice versa.

To paste:

choose Paste from the Edit menu, or
press Ctrl+V on the keyboard.

In case you cut or copied from a map with a class or ID domain, and now pasting this into a raster map which uses another class or ID domain, the program will try to add any domain items which are not yet present in the domain of the current map to the domain of the current map. A question will be asked to confirm this.

Answer the question(s) to add encountered class name(s) or ID(s) from another class or ID domain to the current class or ID domain with:

yes: to add the encountered domain item to the present domain, or
no: to skip the encountered domain item and continue with the next item, or
cancel: to interrupt the pasting and return to the pixel editor.

Results of pasting:

When pasting points into a raster map:

all pasted points will keep their coordinates;
all pasted points will keep their class names, identifiers or values.

When pasting segments into a raster map:

all nodes and all intermediate points within the copied segments will appear as pixels in the raster map;
the nodes and intermediate points will keep their coordinates,
the class names, identifiers or values of the copied segments are assigned to the pixels.

When pasting polygons into a raster map:

the nodes and intermediate points of the copied polygon boundaries will appear as pixels in the current raster map,
the nodes and intermediate points of the copied polygon boundaries will keep their coordinates,
in principle, class names, IDs, or values of the polygons are assigned to the pixels.

When pasting pixels into a raster map:

all pasted pixels will keep their coordinates;
all pasted pixels will keep their class names, identifiers or values.

Tips:

You can use Windows' Clipboard/Clipbook Viewer to inspect the current contents of the clipboard in various formats. For more information on the Clipboard Viewer, see the Windows Help.
An example of pixels copied to the clipboard is presented in Pixel editor : Copy.
