##Usage
**1. Include jQuery and waterpipe.js**
<script src="lib/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="waterpipe.js"></script>
**2. Create wrapper with canvas element inside**
<div id="wavybg-wrapper" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">
<canvas>Your browser does not support HTML5 canvas.</canvas>
</div>
**3. Initialize with**
var smokyBG = $('#wavybg-wrapper').waterpipe({
//Default values
gradientStart: '#000000',
gradientEnd: '#222222',
smokeOpacity: 0.1,
numCircles: 1,
maxMaxRad: 'auto',
minMaxRad: 'auto',
minRadFactor: 0,
iterations: 8,
drawsPerFrame: 10,
lineWidth: 2,
speed: 1,
bgColorInner: "#ffffff",
bgColorOuter: "#666666"
});
##Options
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---------------|---------------|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| gradientStart | string | '#000000' | Gradient start color in hex format. |
| gradientEnd | string | '#222222' | Gradient end color in hex format. |
| smokeOpacity | number | 0.1 | Smoke opacity 0 to 1. |
| numCircles | int | 1 | Number of circles (smokes). |
| maxMaxRad | int or 'auto' | 'auto' | Could be used to change circle radius size |
| minMaxRad | int or 'auto' | 'auto' | Could be used to change circle radius size |
| minRadFactor | int | 0 | It's a factor representing the size of the smallest radius with respect to the largest possible. Integer from 0 to 1. |
| iterations | int | 8 | The number of subdividing steps to take when creating a single fractal curve. Can use more, but anything over 10 (thus 1024 points) is overkill for a moderately sized canvas. |
| drawsPerFrame | int | 10 | Number of curves to draw on every tick of the timer |
| lineWidth | number | 2 | Line width |
| speed | int | 1 | Drawing speed (tick of timer in ms) |
| bgColorInner | string | '#ffffff' | Background outer color in hex format |
| bgColorOuter | string | '#666666' | Background inner color in hex format |
