orientIndexAcross

The orientIndexAcross property indicates whether EGL should distribute array elements horizontally or vertically on the screen. If the value of the property is YES, the elements are distributed horizontally.

If the orientIndexAcross property is set to YES, successive elements of the array are displayed from left to right. In the following 2-column example, each successive element displays an integer that is equivalent to the element index:
  1   2
  3   4
  5
If the orientIndexAcross property is set to NO, the successive elements are displayed from top to bottom:
  1   4
  2   5
  3

This property is meaningful only for ConsoleField arrays. The default value for this property is YES (horizontal orientation). It cannot be updated at run time.
