Move Elements into an Interactive Area: Roundabout jQuery Plugin

Roundabout is a JQuery Plugin that converts a structure of static HTML elements (either ordered or unordered) into a highly customizable turntable-like interactive area. After a quick configuration it can even work with a set of nested elements. Although the default setup is for <ul> and <ol> elements, you can apply this plugin to anything (for instance a DIV class that has some child objects).

Additionally, you can get the most of Roundabout by using it with two additional plugins: Roundabout Shapes (by Fred LeBlanc) and jQuery Easing (by George McGinley Smith).

Here are some advanced techniques that you can use with Roundabout:

• Set Bearing / Tilt
• Adjust Bearing / Tilt
• Animate to Bearing
• Animate to Delta
• Animate to Child
• Animate to Next Child
• Animate to Previous Child
• Animate Angle to Focus
