1. Download JZoopraxiscope and reference the jquery.jzoopraxiscope.js file from your page:

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

2. Reference jQuery and jQuery UI libraries from your page:

   <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
   <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.18/jquery-ui.js"></script>

3. Prepare the static sequence. Every frame must have the same width and be attached to his previous frame in a horizontal image. Refer to the included file 'jzoo.jpg':

4. Define the options:

   var optionsAnimation = {
       'widthItem' : 380,
       'widthImage' : 4560,
       'height' : 306,
       'image' : 'images/jzoo.jpg'}

widthItem

Width of every frame.

widthImage

Width of the entire image.

height

Height of the image.

image

Location of the image. Use relative or absolute path, relative paths are related to the html document where the plugin is installed.

5. Initialize a div with JZoo (#animation):

   //Html
   <div id="animation" style="border: 1px solid #999; margin: auto;"></div>
   
   //Javascript
   $('#animation').jzoopraxiscope(optionsAnimation);

6. Control JZoo:

   //Play the animation
   $('#animation').jzoopraxiscope('play');
   
   //Stop the animation
   $('#animation').jzoopraxiscope('stop');
