# userInterfaceLayoutDirection

The layout direction of the user interface.

## Declaration

```swift
var userInterfaceLayoutDirection: NSUserInterfaceLayoutDirection { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property specifies the general user interface layout flow directions. For subclasses that have multiple visual components in a single cell instance, this property should specify the directionality or flow of components.
