Aspose::Words::Drawing::TextPath::get_ReverseRows method

TextPath::get_ReverseRows method

Determines whether the layout order of rows is reversed.

bool Aspose::Words::Drawing::TextPath::get_ReverseRows()

Remarks

The default value is false.

If true, the layout order of rows is reversed. This attribute is used for vertical text layout.
