#GQuery Elastic Plugin

##Description of the plugin Elastic plugin takes the children of an element and rearranges them in a grid layout (like google+ or pinterest)

##Examples Check these 2 examples:

http://arcbees.github.io/gwtquery-elastic-plugin/ElasticWidgetSample/WidgetSample.html

http://arcbees.github.io/gwtquery-elastic-plugin/ElasticBasicSample/ElasticLayoutSample.html

##How it works ? To call the plugin:

    import static com.arcbees.gquery.elastic.client.Elastic.Elastic;

    ElasticOption option = new ElasticOption()
           .withColumWidth(400)
           .withMinimalNumberOfColumn(2);

            $("#container").as(Elastic).elastic(option);

or you can use an ElasticHtmlPanel and all direct children of the panel (html elements or widgets) will be rearranged in column.

##How to configure it

The different options are:

• minimumColumnWidth: Specify the minimum width of the column. The plugin uses this value to maximise the number of column to display. (default: 250px)
• minimalNumberOfColumn: Specify the minimum number of column. (default: 1)
• maximumNumberOfColumn: Specify the maximum number of column. (default: infinity)
• maximumNumberOfColumn: Specify the maximum number of column. (default: infinity)
• InnerColumnMargin: Specify the space between each column (default: 10px)
• InnerRowMargin: Specify the space between each row (default: 10px) *autoResize: Specify if we have to recalculate the layout after a window resizing. (default: true)

To specify this option, you can use an ElasticOption object and pass it to the plugin or uses the specific method directly on the ElasticHtmlPanel

On each child we can specify the following attributes: *data-elastic-span: specify the number of column to span for this child. *data-elastic-column: Force the child to be displayed in a specific column. "first" and "last" values are also accepted and the child will be displayed respectively in the first of in the last column no matter the number of column
