    *     the second for the vertical margin (top, bottom).
    *    @param {Array} [options.widget_base_dimensions] Base widget dimensions
    *     in pixels. The first index for the width and the second for the

    *     method or not when the plugin is instantiated.

    *       @param {Boolean} [options.resize.enabled] Set to true to enable
    *        resizing.
    *       @param {Array} [options.resize.axes] Axes in which widgets can be
    *        resized. Possible values: ['x', 'y', 'both'].
