To me, this sounds like the window can't be larger than this value.  Maybe
TWO_ROW_WINDOW_HEIGHT or TWO_ROW_REQUIRED_HEIGHT or HEIGHT_FOR_TWO_ROWS?

Shouldn't this be used in getColCountForWidth_ then?

[pedrosimonetti2, 2012/08/24 00:22:15]

I don't think so because getColCountForWidth_ will only receive number of
columns that can fit in the max width defined here. So, it will never be higher
than 5 in our case.

This value is also used in the bottom section width computation - can you
include a comment for this?

Done.

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by "this value is *also* used in the
bottom section width computation". This value is *just* being used for width
computation.

Sorry, what I meant was - can you give a comment explaining what it does in the
width computation?  Seems it should be analogous to the comment for
MIN_BOTTOM_PANEL_WIDTH.

Stick with either Bottom Section or Bottom Panel everywhere.

When windowHeight < MIN_WINDOW_HEIGHT, should numOfVisibleRows be 0?

[pedrosimonetti2, 2012/08/24 00:22:15]

I thought about this too. Even though zero rows are 'visible' when the entire
Bottom Panel is hidden, what is actually being hidden is the panel, but the rows
themselves remain the way they were before.

In other words, numOfVisibleRows is tracking the number of rows that are being
hidden with CSS. When we hide the Bottom Panel, just the Panel is hidden with
CSS, but the row remains 'visible'. It just turns out that you can't see it ;)

[jeremycho_google, 2012/08/24 00:54:42]

Ok, makes sense.

Shouldn't the parameter be 'hide'?  Maybe make this animateBottomSection_
instead?

[pedrosimonetti2, 2012/08/24 00:22:15]

I changed the implementation so it uses a show param, because in order to keep
the code consistent with other methods like showTileRow_() and showTileCols_().

+      $('card-slider-frame').

[jeremycho_google, 2012/08/23 01:09:28]

nit: I think it's more typical to line-break on a '(' instead.
