    reducedSize: 0.8,
    // if true, slider height set to max panel height; 
    // if false, height will auto adjust.
    fixedHeight: false,

    // **** Behaviour ****
    // if true, movingBoxes will initialize, then animate into the
    // starting slide (if not the first slide)
    initAnimation: true,
    // if true, movingBoxes will force the animation to complete
    // immediately, if the user selects the next panel
    stopAnimation: false,
    // if true, hash tags are enabled

    // if true, the panel will loop through the panels infinitely

    // if true, navigation links will be added
    buildNav: true,

    navFormatter: function(index, panel) {
        return "&#9679;" // bullets
    },
    // anything other than "linear" or "swing" requires the easing plugin
    easing: 'swing',

    // **** Times ****
    // animation time in milliseconds
    speed: 500,
    // time to delay in milliseconds before MovingBoxes animates
    // to the selected panel
    delayBeforeAnimate: 0,

    // **** Selectors & classes ****
    // current panel class
    currentPanel: 'current',
    // added to the navigation, but the title attribute is blank unless
    // the link text-indent is negative
    tooltipClass: 'tooltip',
    // class added to arrows that are disabled (left arrow when on first
    // panel, right arrow on last panel)
    disabled: 'disabled',

    // **** Callbacks ****
    // e = event, slider = MovingBoxes Object, tar = current panel #
    // callback after the basic MovingBoxes structure has been built;
    // before "initialized"
    preinit: function(e, slider, tar) {},
