DWRITE_VERTICAL_GLYPH_ORIENTATION enumeration (dwrite_1.h)

The DWRITE_VERTICAL_GLYPH_ORIENTATION enumeration contains values that specify the desired kind of glyph orientation for the text.

Syntax

typedef enum DWRITE_VERTICAL_GLYPH_ORIENTATION {
  DWRITE_VERTICAL_GLYPH_ORIENTATION_DEFAULT,
  DWRITE_VERTICAL_GLYPH_ORIENTATION_STACKED
} ;


`DWRITE_VERTICAL_GLYPH_ORIENTATION_DEFAULT` The default glyph orientation. In vertical layout, naturally horizontal scripts (Latin, Thai, Arabic, Devanagari) rotate 90 degrees clockwise, while ideographic scripts (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) remain upright, 0 degrees.
`DWRITE_VERTICAL_GLYPH_ORIENTATION_STACKED` Stacked glyph orientation. Ideographic scripts and scripts that permit stacking (Latin, Hebrew) are stacked in vertical reading layout. Connected scripts (Arabic, Syriac, 'Phags-pa, Ogham), which would otherwise look broken if glyphs were kept at 0 degrees, remain connected and rotate.

The client specifies a DWRITE_VERTICAL_GLYPH_ORIENTATION-typed value to the analyzer as the desired orientation.

Note This is the client preference, and the constraints of the script determine the final presentation.
