jQuery UI plugin allowing you to draw a proxy over a given area.

Once your proxy is drawn (mouse is released) you can determine what elements your proxy overlaps and apply your callbacks accordingly.

Options: padding - Integer or Object {top : x, bottom : x, left : x, right : x} Padding applied to the "drawable" area. Proxy will not be drawn over the padded area

grid - [x,y] Minimum distance that the mouse must move to trigger a resize. This is useful for creating rows and columns, especially if they do not yet exist in the DOM

allow_resize - Define a function that returns a boolean whether or not the proxy can be resized to the current mouse position. Allows for more fine-grained control of what behavior is allowed by your application

Events: proxy_create - Triggered when the drawing proxy is created. A common use would be to apply styles to the proxy based on the current state of the page

drawn - Triggered when the mouse is released. At this point you can determine what the user has selected and can have your application respond accordingly
