+# FixedColumns
+
+When making use of DataTables' x-axis scrolling feature (`scrollX`), you may wish to fix the left or right most columns in place. This plug-in for DataTables provides exactly this option (for non-scrolling tables, please use the FixedHeader plug-in, which can fix headers, footers and columns). Key features include:
+
+* Freezes the left most column to the side of the table
+* Option to freeze two or more columns
+* Full integration with DataTables' scrolling options
+
+
+# Installation
+
+To use FixedColumns, first download DataTables ( http://datatables.net/download ) and place the unzipped FixedColumns package into a `extensions` directory in the DataTables package. This will allow the pages in the examples to operate correctly. To see the examples running, open the `examples` directory in your web-browser.
+
+
+# Basic usage
+
+FixedColumns is initialised using the `$.fn.dataTable.FixedColumns()` constructor. For example:
+
+```js
+$(document).ready(function() {
+ var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
+ scrollY: "300px",
+ scrollX: true,
+ scrollCollapse: true,
+ paging: false
+ } );
+
+ new $.fn.dataTable.FixedColumns( table );
+} );
+```
