An attribute group. Elements listing it carry every attribute below.

Note
Usage note

The table below enumerates the allowed values for the orientation attribute. The values are integers from 1 to 8 and reflect the TIFF 6.0 and Exif 2.3 specification. Orientation 1 is considered as default value.

Remark on the Definition column: by the Exif specification the "0th row" is the first row which has been scanned for the digital image and the "0th column" the first column. The hint describes how a picture of this orientation has to be flipped and/or rotated to show as the default orientation 1.

The column "Visual example" shows a picture of the character F having an orientation aligning with the value. The letters T(op), L(eft), R(ight) and B(ottom) represent the visual aligment of the image with orientation 1.
