A Boolean value indicating whether the status bar has a vertical orientation.

```
var isVertical: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

When the value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the status bar has a vertical orientation. The status bar returned by the [`system`](/documentation/AppKit/NSStatusBar/system) method is horizontal and has the value <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> for this property.
