Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`AUTO` Tail segments flip orientation according to longer axis of bounding box: if the bounding box is wider than it is tall, center segment is vertical
`HORIZONTAL` Tail segments are always horizontal; best for left-to-right connectors
`VERTICAL` Tail segments are always vertical; best for top-to-bottom connectors

- Enum Constant Detail
  - HORIZONTAL
```
public static final ConnectorOrientation HORIZONTAL
```
    Tail segments are always horizontal; best for left-to-right connectors
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "horizontal".
  - VERTICAL
```
public static final ConnectorOrientation VERTICAL
```
    Tail segments are always vertical; best for top-to-bottom connectors
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "vertical".
  - AUTO
```
public static final ConnectorOrientation AUTO
```
    Tail segments flip orientation according to longer axis of bounding box: if the bounding box is wider than it is tall, center segment is vertical
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "auto".

  - values
```
public static ConnectorOrientation[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (ConnectorOrientation c : ConnectorOrientation.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static ConnectorOrientation valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

```
public java.lang.String getValue()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getValue in interface ValueEnum
