.. code-block:: python

clipdf = pd.read_clipboard()

.. ipython:: python

clipdf
>>> clipdf = pd.read_clipboard()
>>> clipdf

y 2 5 q
z 3 6 r


The ``to_clipboard`` method can be used to write the contents of a ``DataFrame`` to
the clipboard. Following which you can paste the clipboard contents into other
applications (CTRL-V on many operating systems). Here we illustrate writing a
``DataFrame`` into clipboard and reading it back.

.. ipython:: python
.. code-block:: python

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5, 3))
df
df.to_clipboard()
pd.read_clipboard()
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3],
... 'B': [4, 5, 6],
... 'C': ['p', 'q', 'r']},
... index=['x', 'y', 'z'])
>>> df
A B C
x 1 4 p
y 2 5 q
z 3 6 r
>>> df.to_clipboard()
>>> pd.read_clipboard()
A B C
x 1 4 p
y 2 5 q
z 3 6 r

We can see that we got the same content back, which we had earlier written to the clipboard.
