This is a Chrome extension allowing you to copy SVG image from website into a clipboard in PNG format compatible with Microsoft Office suite. This is intended to be used in Windows only.

It has been done because I often want to copy&paste plots from Jypyter (Lab) running on Chrome into some presentations, and Chrome is missing SVG copy functionality.

It consists of two parts:

1. Chrome extension based on SVG2PNG code.

   

   NOTE: For Jupyter or JupyterLab use %config InlineBackend.figure_format = "svg" to switch to SVG Matplotlib backend. This may improve your notebook sizes and make them resolution independent.

2. Chrome Native Messaging host written in python.

1. Chrome extension can be installed using developer mode via chrome://extensions/.

2. Native messaging host can be installed via host/install_host.bat
