  Examples

  Copy the contents of a DataFrame to the clipboard.

      >>> df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], columns=['A', 'B', 'C'])

      >>> df.to_clipboard(sep=',')
      ... # Wrote the following to the system clipboard:
      ... # ,A,B,C
      ... # 0,1,2,3
      ... # 1,4,5,6

  We can omit the index by passing the keyword index and setting it to false.

      >>> df.to_clipboard(sep=',', index=False)
      ... # Wrote the following to the system clipboard:
      ... # A,B,C
      ... # 1,2,3
      ... # 4,5,6
