This is a simple script to magnify images. The files needed to make it work are these:

• src/jquery.simpleGallery.js manages a simple gallery with thumbnails and big images.
• src/jquery.simpleLens.js does all the work for the magnifying of the images.
• css/jquery.simpleLens.css provides the css code needed from the magnifying script.

jquery.simpleGallery.js is optional and you can use any plugin that does the same thing.

The demo folder contains all the file needed for the demo. In the demo.html file you can find some examples.

The basic html markup to make the lens plugin work:

<div class="simpleLens-gallery-container" id="demo-1">
    <div class="simpleLens-container">
        <div class="simpleLens-big-image-container">
            <a class="simpleLens-lens-image" data-lens-image="demo/large/benvado_elisa_bianco.jpg">
                <img src="demo/medium/benvado_elisa_bianco.jpg" class="simpleLens-big-image">
            </a>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Initialize the plugin like this:

$('#demo-1 .simpleLens-big-image').simpleLens({
    loading_image: 'demo/images/loading.gif'
});

Options:

$.fn.simpleLens.defaults = {
    anchor_parent_class: '.simpleLens-lens-image',
    lens_image_attr: 'data-lens-image',
    big_image_class: '.simpleLens-big-image',
    parent_class: '.simpleLens-big-image-container',
    lens_class: 'simpleLens-lens-element',
    cursor_class: 'simpleLens-mouse-cursor',
    loading_image: 'images/loading.gif',
    open_lens_event: 'mouseenter'
};
