23"wx.Clipboard represents the system clipboard and provides methods to
24copy data to it or paste data from it. Normally, you should only use
25``wx.TheClipboard`` which is a reference to a global wx.Clipboard
26instance.
27
28Call ``wx.TheClipboard``'s `Open` method to get ownership of the
29clipboard. If this operation returns True, you now own the
30clipboard. Call `SetData` to put data on the clipboard, or `GetData`
31to retrieve data from the clipboard. Call `Close` to close the
32clipboard and relinquish ownership. You should keep the clipboard open
33only momentarily.
