The Orientation container specifies the orientation of components (vertical or horizontal). For example, in the Classic View, the Network Inputs, Inputs, and Miscellaneous components are arranged in a vertical orientation, where they appear stacked vertically. However, within the Control tab, the module categories are arranged horizontally, or next to each other. See Figure 2 for an example of Vertical and Horizontal orientation.
The following two figures illustrate the Orientation property. Figure 1 shows two Table Data widgets within a Vertical Orientation container and two Table Data widgets within a Horizontal Orientation as the configuration appears within the Perspectives tab of the Perspective Management dialog box. Figure 2 shows how these widgets appear in the UI.
