A LayoutDirection enumeration value.

Available values:

Name Description
TopLeftToBottomRight

Items are arranged from the top-left angle to the bottom-right angle.

BottomLeftToTopRight

Items are arranged from the bottom-left angle to the top-right angle.

TopRightToBottomLeft

Items are arranged from the top-right angle to the bottom-left angle.

BottomRightToTopLeft

Items are arranged from the bottom-right angle to the top-left angle.

Remarks

For instance, for the LayoutDirection.TopLeftToBottomRight value, the largest tree map item will be arranged at the top left corner and the smallest item will be placed at the bottom right corner.

Example

To customize the layout algorithm, do the following.
