# Graphics::Primitive::Oriented(3pm)

Role for components that care about orientation.

## NAME

Graphics::Primitive::Oriented - Role for components that care about orientation.

## SYNOPSIS

Some components (or things that use components) require a bit more information than origin and width/height.  The orientation role allows a component to specify whether is vertically or horizontally oriented.

```
    package My::Component;

    extends 'Graphics::Primitive::Component';

    with 'Graphics::Primitive::Oriented';

    1;
```

## METHODS

- *is\_vertical*

  Returns true if the component is vertically oriented.

- *is\_horizontal*

  Returns true if the component is not vertically oriented.

- *orientation*

  The way a component is oriented. Values allowed are 'horizontal' or 'vertical'.
