Ken Burns Effect in Dojo

I saw a reference to the jQuery CrossSlide plug-in many moons ago. For some dojo.anim practice, I decided to implement its Ken Burns effect in a reusable Dojo widget a few days later. The code then collected dust in my Dropbox until today when I finally got around to sharing it.

Below is an example instance of the widget panning, zooming, and crossfading three images. The BSD code for the widget is in KenBurns.js. The code for this particular demo can be seen by viewing the source of kenburns-demo.html.

I didn't take the time to comment this little experiment. If you'd like more info about how to use it or how it works, drop me a comment.
