Indicates whether an object (for example, a figure or table) should be positioned in a tall manner with the long edge vertical (“portrait”) or in a wide manner with the long edge horizontal (“landscape”).
The default value for this attribute is “ portrait ” and indicates that the graphic or other object should be displayed in its default orientation. Setting this attribute to “ landscape ” indicates that the object should instead be rotated by 90 degrees.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| landscape | The object should be rotated by 90 degrees, so that the display is wide rather than tall. |
| portrait | The object should not be rotated by 90 degrees; the display will be taller than it is wide. |
| Default value: portrait | |
