Read / write images

[eliocamp]

From my testing it seems that clipr only works with text data. Would it be possible for it to work on images too?

I implemented something like that for my spindler package (code here only tested the linux part) and realised that maybe it would be coold to have it on clipr.

Thanks @eliocamp, I've gotten this request before! I simply don't have the capacity to build this out myself, unfortunately.

I would welcome a PR, however it would absolutely have to be a platform independent implementation, since that's the whole point of clipr in the first place. If that's something you think you'd be interested in taking on, I'd certainly be willing to review it.

Ok, I'll see what I can do.

What would it be the desired behaviour? Images could be returned as arrays or saved in disk and returned as a path.

I would like to know if any progress has been made to cut-and-paste images with clipr?

I couldn't make it work 😞
