Interface TerpClipboardInterface

public interface TerpClipboardInterface

This class is the clipboard interface for Terp Paint. It interacts with all other TerpOffice products. There is no visible state of this class. It should work with all operating systems and hardware. There are no variances and no security constraints. Since this is a clipboard, there are lots of external specifications: You can test which TerpOffice application the copy came from by specifying where it was copiedFrom(). Examples include: if( copiedFrom() == TerpClipboardInterface.CALC ) if( copiedFrom() == TerpClipboardInterface.SPREADSHEET ) and others.

Field Summary
`static int`	`CALC` This field models the Terp Calc application which is static at 5.
`static int`	`INTEGRATOR` This field models the Terp Manager application which is static at 6.
`static int`	`NOTEPAD` This field models the Terp Pad application which is static at 2.
`static int`	`OOD` This field models the Terp Present application which is static at 3.
`static int`	`PAINT` This field models the Terp Paint application which is static at 4.
`static int`	`SPREADSHEET` This field models the Terp SpreadSheet application which is static at 1.

Method Summary
`int`	`copiedFrom()` This function returns an integer which tells the program which TerpOffice application the copy came from.
`java.awt.image.BufferedImage`	`getImage()` This BufferedImage is used to get an image from the clipboard.
`java.lang.String`	`getString()` This string is used to get a string from whichever application.
