# rotatesCoordinateSystemForLayoutOrientation

Determines if the framework rotates the coordinate system to match the layout orientation.

```
var rotatesCoordinateSystemForLayoutOrientation: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

If set to `true`, the framework rotates the coordinate system for arguments passed to the navigation methods such as [`textSelections(interactingAt:inContainerAt:anchors:modifiers:selecting:bounds:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSTextSelectionNavigation/textSelections(interactingAt:inContainerAt:anchors:modifiers:selecting:bounds:)): based on the text container layout orientation. Defaults to `false`.
