/**
 * This class is used to differentiate different orientations for text layout.
 * It controls whether text flows left-to-right or right-to-left, and whether
 * lines are horizontal or vertical, as in this table:<br>
 * <pre>
 * LT      RT      TL      TR
 * A B C   C B A   A D G   G D A
 * D E F   F E D   B E H   H E B
 * G H I   I H G   C F I   I F C
 * </pre>
 * <b>LT</b> languages are most common (left-to-right lines, top-to-bottom).
 * This includes Western European languages, and optionally includes Japanese,
 * Chinese, and Korean. <b>RT</b> languages (right-to-left lines,
 * top-to-bottom) are mainly middle eastern, such as Hebrew and Arabic.
 * <b>TR</b> languages flow top-to-bottom in a line, right-to-left, and are
 * the basis of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Finally, <b>TL</b> languages
 * flow top-to-bottom in a line, left-to-right, as in Mongolian.
 *
 * <p>This is a pretty poor excuse for a type-safe enum, since it is not
 * guaranteed that orientation objects are unique (thanks to serialization),
 * yet there is no equals() method. You would be wise to compare the output
 * of isHorizontal() and isLeftToRight() rather than comparing objects with
 * ==, especially since more constants may be added in the future.
