<figure class="half left zoom-effect">

- data-width: the real width of the image.
- data-height: the real height of the image.
- To the div with aspect-ratio-fill class is applied a padding-bottom that is the aspect ratio of the image. The aspect ratio percentage is found with [(height/width)*100] formula.
Initialize plugin
MediumLightbox('figure.zoom-effect');
Option
MediumLightbox('figure.zoom-effect', {
margin:40
});
- Margin - default: 20 - Margin in px applied to the image in zoomed view.
