# 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 out from left to right. Styles applied
the start of an element are applied on the left side.
**RTL**: Text and children and laid out from right to left. Styles applied the
start of an element are applied on the right side.
<Playground code={`<Layout config={{useWebDefaults: false}}>
<Node
style={{
width: 200,
height: 200,
padding: 10,
direction: 'ltr'
}}>
<Node style={{margin: 5, height: 50, width: 50}} />
<Node style={{margin: 5, height: 50, width: 50}} />
</Node>
</Layout>`} />
