orientationhorizontal

Orientationhorizontal is a term used in user interface and layout design to specify the horizontal arrangement of elements along the horizontal axis. It contrasts with vertical orientation, where elements are arranged from top to bottom. In practice, horizontal orientation dictates that child components are placed side by side, typically from left to right in left-to-right locales.

In common software frameworks, the concept appears under different names. In Android, a layout manager such as LinearLayout uses an orientation attribute with values 'horizontal' or 'vertical' to choose the layout direction. JavaFX provides an Orientation enum with a HORIZONTAL value used by controls and layouts like HBox; some documentation and code may refer to Orientation.HORIZONTAL. CSS Flexbox expresses horizontal orientation through flex-direction: row, which arranges items in a row. Qt, GTK, and other toolkits implement horizontal layouts via horizontal box containers or by setting direction to horizontal.

In data representation, orientationhorizontal may appear as a concatenated or serialized form of the phrase 'orientation' and 'horizontal' in configuration files, resource identifiers, or code constants. In such cases it generally conveys the same meaning as the horizontal orientation value in the respective framework.
