This command pastes the clipboard contents. Of course, you must use the “Copy” command before, so that you have something in the clipboard.
There is no way to empty the clipboard.
The submenu offers several ways to paste the clipboard contents:
The command creates a new layer in the active image and pastes the clipboard contents into it.
If the data are not rectangular or square in shape, any regions that do not extend to the edge of the canvas are left transparent (an Alpha channel is automatically created). Of course, you have to copy your selection before you use this command.
The command creates a new layer in the active image and pastes the clipboard contents at exact coordinates the contents was originally copied from.
This feature is available for both the regular clipboard and named buffers.

The command replaces the contents of the current selection with the contents of the clipboard and turns it into a floating selection.
The clipboard data is clipped by the selection, but the image data in it can still be moved if it extends outside the selection.
If no selection exists, the “Paste as Floating Data Into Selection” command places the data from the clipboard into the center of the canvas, as the “Paste” command does.

This command opens a dialog window which lets you name the new brush. The brush appears in the Brushes dialog.
Brush name is the name as it will be in the “Brushes” Dialog.
The new brush is saved as File name (with
extension .gbr) in your
personal brushes folder.
Spacing: When the brush draws a line, it actually stamps the brush icon repeatedly. If brush stamps are very close, you get the impression of a solid line.
This command opens a dialog window which allows you to name your new pattern. The pattern appears in the Patterns dialog.
Pattern name is the name as it will be in the Pattern Dialog.
The new pattern is saved as File name (with
extension .pat) in your
personal patterns folder.
