Layout Direction

Layout direction specifies the direction in which children and text in a hierarchy should be laid out. Layout direction also effects what edge start and end refer to. By default Yoga lays out with LTR layout direction. In this mode start refers to left and end refers to right. When localizing your apps for markets with RTL languages you should customize this by either by passing a direction to the CalculateLayout call or by setting the direction on the root node.

LTR (DEFAULT) Text and children and laid our from left to right. Margin and padding applied the start of an element are applied on the left side.
