Javascript to paste a clipboard image directly to html5 canvas

Javascript to paste a clipboard image directly to html5 canvas 6 Apr 2015

No specific Bitcoin Bounty has been announced by author. Still, anyone could send Bitcoin Tips to those who provide a good answer.

Is it possible to paste an image from clipboard to canvas using Javascript? Here is my use-case:

we have a browser-based image editor (html5 / canvas) which allows uploading image files and drag-n-dropping files to canvas
sometimes I do not have a file but have an image in the clipboard. For example, when using screen capturing software
it would be much faster to just copy/paste image directly to canvas, to avoid extra steps of saving image into file and then dragging that file over to canvas

Please advice! Thanks!
