Wiretap API - create clip help needed

Eventually the only workaround here I could find was to save the image data into an image file and then use gateway server handle in order to read it back to a frame buffer and then save it to and actual clip. It is a bit silly but seem to work for now though might need a bit wider testing.

the code loos something like this:

                gateway_server_id = WireTapServerId("Gateway", "localhost")
                gateway_server_handle = WireTapServerHandle(gateway_server_id)
                clip_node_handle = WireTapNodeHandle(gateway_server_handle, file_path + '@CLIP')
                fmt = WireTapClipFormat()
                if not clip_node_handle.getClipFormat(fmt):
                    raise Exception("Unable to obtain clip format: %s." % clip_node_handle.lastError())
                
                buff = "0" * fmt.frameBufferSize()

                if not clip_node_handle.readFrame(0, buff, fmt.frameBufferSize()):
                    raise Exception(
                        'Unable to obtain read frame %i: %s.' % (frame_number, clip_node_handle.lastError())
                    )
                
                server_handle = WireTapServerHandle('localhost')
                destination_node_handle = WireTapNodeHandle(server_handle, self.destination_node_id)
                dest_fmt = WireTapClipFormat()
                if not destination_node_handle.getClipFormat(dest_fmt):
                    raise Exception('Unable to obtain clip format: %s.' % clip_node_handle.lastError())

                if not destination_node_handle.writeFrame(
                    frame_number, buff, dest_fmt.frameBufferSize()
                ):
                    raise Exception(
                        "Unable to obtain write frame %i: %s."
                        % (frame_number, destination_node_handle.lastError())
                    )

                os.remove(file_path)
