Avoid use on single-column layout?

[murwiz]

Is there a way to recognize when the columns are arranged in a stack, and avoid applying the equal height adjustment? I'm currently attempting to do this by examining the columns for their top offset as a filter before invoking your method:

$('.equal-height-columns')
.filter(...)
.equalHeightColumns(...);

but it's awkward, and I'm not exactly clear on whether I have to recalculate this every time the viewport changes.

If you know at which width the items are stacked you can use the minWidth and maxWidth options to configure when the plugin kicks in.

If you don't, than you could set equalizeRows: true which will equalize every row individually. In this case there would only be one item per row, which essentially does nothing though the plugin will still do it's calculations.
