Declaration
protocol NSTextLayoutOrientationProvider
Overview
In macOS, the NSText and NSText classes adopt this protocol; in iOS, only the NSText class implements it. An NSText object returns the value from its associated text view when present; otherwise, it returns NSLayout by default. If you define a custom NSText object, you can override this method and return NSLayout to support laying out text vertically.
