( {
// here you can define setting values
// a.k.a. configuration constants
maxwidth : 600,
maxheight : 400,
// you can also define utility methods
gimmeMax : function() {
return this.maxwidth + "x" + this.maxheight;

Usage
protect the global namespace while performing the one-off initialization tasks.
Note
If you want to keep a reference to the object after it is done, you can easily achieve this by adding return this; at the end of init().
