The R code below shows how to get a “Copy to clipboard” button in the plotly
toolbar.
library(plotly)
set.seed(666L)
asd <- data.frame(
week = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8),
a = rpois(8L, 30),
b = rpois(8L, 25)
)
js <- c(
'function(gd) {',
' Plotly.Snapshot.toImage(gd, {format: "png"}).once(',
' "success",',
' async function(url) {',
' try {',
' const data = await fetch(url);',
' const blob = await data.blob();',
' await navigator.clipboard.write([',
' new ClipboardItem({',
' [blob.type]: blob',
' })',
' ]);',
' console.log("Image copied.");',
' var $div = $("<div>Image copied to clipboard</div>");',
' $div.css({',
' display: "none",',
' position: "absolute",',
' top: "5%",',
' left: "50%",',
' transform: "translate(-50%, 0)",',
' "font-size": "30px",',

' "font-style": "italic",',
' "background-color": "seashell",',
' padding: "10px",',
' border: "2px solid black",',
' "border-radius": "5px"',
' });',
' $div.appendTo("body");',
' $div.fadeIn(3000, function() {',
' $div.fadeOut(3000);',
' });',
' } catch(err) {',
' console.error(err.name, err.message);',
' }',
' }',
' );',
'}'
)
