/**
* The ComponentOrientation class encapsulates the language-sensitive
* orientation that is to be used to order the elements of a component
* or of text. It is used to reflect the differences in this ordering
* between Western alphabets, Middle Eastern (such as Hebrew), and Far
* Eastern (such as Japanese).
* <p>
* Fundamentally, this governs items (such as characters) which are laid out
* in lines, with the lines then laid out in a block. This also applies
* to items in a widget: for example, in a check box where the box is
* positioned relative to the text.
* <p>
* There are four different orientations used in modern languages
* as in the following 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><br>
* (In the header, the two-letter abbreviation represents the item direction
* in the first letter, and the line direction in the second. For example,
* LT means "items left-to-right, lines top-to-bottom",
* TL means "items top-to-bottom, lines left-to-right", and so on.)
* <p>
* The orientations are:
* <ul>
* <li>LT - Western Europe (optional for Japanese, Chinese, Korean)
* <li>RT - Middle East (Arabic, Hebrew)
* <li>TR - Japanese, Chinese, Korean
* <li>TL - Mongolian
* </ul>
* Components whose view and controller code depends on orientation
* should use the <code>isLeftToRight()</code> and
* <code>isHorizontal()</code> methods to
* determine their behavior. They should not include switch-like
* code that keys off of the constants, such as:
* <pre>
* if (orientation == LEFT_TO_RIGHT) {
* ...
* } else if (orientation == RIGHT_TO_LEFT) {
* ...
* } else {
* // Oops
* }
* </pre>
* This is unsafe, since more constants may be added in the future and
* since it is not guaranteed that orientation objects will be unique.
