Make your own component

$(function () {

// Component logic
kontrol.NewComponent = function () {
    kontrol.Object.call(this);

    this.draw = function () {
        // console.log(this);
    };
};

// jQuery plugin
$.fn.newcomponent = function (opt) {
    return this.each(
        function () {
            var k = new kontrol.NewComponent(opt);
            k.options = opt;
            k.target = $(this);
            k.run();
        }
