  • The images can by grouped in galleries
  • Scales the image to fit the viewport
  • Keyboard gallery navigation

Examples

Images are opened relative to the trigger.

City lights Flashlight Laser lights 

$('a.lightsGal').zoomimage();

Centered to the viewport, border of 20 pixels and the trigger is hidden.

The Moon Drops Church 

$('a.bwGal').zoomimage({
	border: 20,
	centered: true,
	hideSource: true
});

Custom shadow and styles, caption displayed on mouse over, no controls, use callbacks to fade in and out.

$('a.customGal').zoomimage({
	controlsTrigger: 'mouseover',
	className: 'custom',
	shadow: 40,
	controls: false,
	opacity: 1,
	beforeZoomIn: function(boxID) {
		$('#' + boxID)
			.find('img')
			.css('opacity', 0)
			.animate(
				{'opacity':1},
				{ duration: 500, queue: false }
			);
	},
	beforeZoomOut: function(boxID) {
