orientation
Orientation
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”).
Remarks
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.
