The glyph-orientation-horizontal attribute affects the amount that the current text position advances as each glyph is rendered.

When the reference orientation direction is horizontal and the glyph-orientation-horizontal results in an orientation angle that is a multiple of 180 degrees, then the current text position is incremented according to the horizontal metrics of the glyph. Otherwise, if the value of this attribute is not a multiple of 180 degrees, then the current text position is incremented according to the vertical metrics of the glyph.

This attribute is applied only to text written in a horizontal writing-mode.

Note: As a presentation attribute, glyph-orientation-horizontal also has a CSS property counterpart: glyph-orientation-horizontal. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

Context notes

Value <angle>
Default value 0deg
Animatable No
<angle>

The value of the angle is restricted to 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees. If another angle is specified, it is rounded to the closest of the permitted values. A value of 0deg indicates that all glyphs are set with the top of the glyphs oriented towards the reference orientation. A value of 90deg indicates an orientation of 90 degrees clockwise from the reference orientation.
