data-lg-size="${width}-${height}" attribute for the initial
zoom animation.
But, this is completely optional.
<div id="lightgallery" `data-lg-size="1600-2400"`>
<a href="img/img1.jpg">
<img alt=".." src="img/thumb1.jpg" />
</a>
<a href="img/img2.jpg" `data-lg-size="1024-800"`>
<img alt=".." src="img/thumb2.jpg" />
</a>
...
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
lightGallery(document.getElementById('lightgallery'), {
plugins: [lgZoom, lgThumbnail],
