To use the full set of easing functions with jQuery, we needed to use an extra plugin, but with jQuery UI all of the functions are included directly in the core effects file, so we can use them natively with any of our jQuery UI effects.
Easing can be used with all of the jQuery UI effects with the exception of explode, although it can look a little strange in a few of the effects, such as bounce or pulsate. Easing can also be used if jQuery UI is present with standard jQuery.
Note
For a full list of the easing functions available with jQuery (either via the easing plugin, or jQuery UI) see the table in the easing section in Chapter 4, Sliding Animations.
