jMosaic

ABOUT

A lightweight jQuery plugin that can take a list of page elements and arrange them in a beautiful, tight-fitted tile mosaic grid.

The proportions of the elements don't change. As the elements can be used: img, div, li etc.

USAGE

jMosaic plugin uses the jQuery JavaScript library, only. So, include just these two javascript files in your header.

<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.jMosaic.js"></script>

Include the CSS file responsible to style the jMosaic plugin.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.jMosaic.css"/ >

Select a block which contains the necessary elements (items_type).

<div class="pictures">
	<img src="img/one.jpg" width="267" height="400"/>
	<img src="img/two.jpg" width="500" height="350"/>
	. . .
	<img src="img/last.jpg" width="400" height="300"/>
</div>	

After it, call the jQuery jMosaic plugin.

$('.pictures').jMosaic();
