Mission
Main focus of this plugin is to facilitate creation of grids and sliders out of any content and it tries to be as little invasive as possible. Grid and slider functionality does not affect actual content. Thanks to that you can easily add a lightbox to a grid of images the same way you would without this plugin.
Image Gallery Options
Simple list of images can be transformed in a few different ways. For example you can constrain width to height ratio of grid cells so that they’re always square, auto or custom fixed height. Images within grid cells can be also further manipulated by changing their container fill mode. You can see a couple of practical implementation examples on the slider demo page
