# ICEXIFOrientationType

The file’s orientation type.

```
enum ICEXIFOrientationType
```

## Overview

The meaning of this value is defined by the `EXIF` specification. Here is what the letter *F* would look like if it were tagged correctly and displayed by a program that ignores the orientation tag (thus showing the stored image):

```swift
               1             2             3             4

            8888888       8888888            88       88
            88                 88            88       88
            8888             8888          8888       8888
            88                 88            88       88
            88                 88       8888888       8888888

               5             6             7             8

            8888888888    88                    88    8888888888
            88  88        88  88            88  88        88  88
            88            8888888888    8888888888            88
```
