RFE: Shortcode for zooming into images

[jvanmeter]

To keep the workshop lab manual format reasonable, the general guidance is to set the image size to around 600 to 750 pixel width. Some interface pictures require greater than 1000 pixel width to read the text and images.

Brief description:

• Add popup image zoom functionality
• Differing levels of zoom from "fit to screen" to "1:1 pixel view" with other zoom levels as well.
• Method of labeling images to notify the workshop attendees of the zoom feature

Expanded detail:

I would like the ability to embed functionality in the page so that clicking on images will popup an image view which allows "scale to screen" and several zoom options including "1:1 pixel" views, with the ability to scroll, of the image. Having a label or icon beside the image signifying the zoom/scroll feature available would be an added benefit.

In case this is still needed, I'd suggest one of two options that come close to meeting those needs...

Elevate Zoom Plus: http://igorlino.github.io/elevatezoom-plus/examples.htm#mousewheel Has mouse over zoom functionality, with the ability for the mouse wheel to scroll

FancyBox: http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/ Under "Extended Functionality," the Button Helper example has a full window zoom on click, then once open has a Full Size Zoom button at the top.

Thoughts?
