## Installation ##

1. Upload `vixo-plugin-1.5.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Unzip it
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Use the shortcode `[vixo url="http://example.com/some/page/"]`

[Vixo](http://vixo.com/?from=github.com&tab=installation) is a next generation spreadsheet - designed to be used on the internet - everything, [graphs](http://wordpress.vixo.com/publish-graphs-on-wordpress/?from=wordpress.org&tab=installation), [forms](http://wordpress.vixo.com/embeddable-vixo-forms/?from=wordpress.org&tab=installation), [pages of figures](http://wordpress.vixo.com/publishing-figures-on-wordpress-with-a-vixo-spreadsheet/?from=wordpress.org&tab=installation), [tables of data](http://wordpress.vixo.com/inserting-spreadsheet-tables-into-wordpress/?from=wordpress.org&tab=installation), has its [own URL](http://wordpress.vixo.com/vixo-embeddable-urls/?from=wordpress.org&tab=installation) which you can pop into the Vixo shortcode. You can build [sophisticated calculation and quotation](http://wordpress.vixo.com/building-a-calculator-or-quote-engine/?from=wordpress.org&tab=installation) engines and embed them as well.

## Using The Shortcode ##

Because [everything](http://wordpress.vixo.com/embeddable-vixo-forms/?from=github.com&tab=shortcode) in Vixo has a URL, The shortcode is very simple and has only  two forms:

`[vixo url="http://example.com/some/page"]`

`[vixo url="http://example.com/some/page", width="198px" height="100px"]`

If it can the Vixo plugin will work out the size of the thing to be embedded automatically and resize to fit.

For a small number of cases (principally [inserting tables](http://wordpress.vixo.com/inserting-spreadsheet-tables-into-wordpress/?from=github.com&tab=shortcode)) Vixo needs to be told how wide and high you want the embedded object to be. In this case use the long form and specify the width and height in pixels as per the example.
