ExifOrientation

On this page

How a stored photo must be turned to look upright, as a camera records it.

Use it to display or process photos. top_left is 1, which needs no turning.

Shape

One of these 8 values:

Value Written
ExifOrientation.top_left 1
ExifOrientation.top_right 2
ExifOrientation.bottom_right 3
ExifOrientation.bottom_left 4
ExifOrientation.left_top 5
ExifOrientation.right_top 6
ExifOrientation.right_bottom 7
ExifOrientation.left_bottom 8

Example

example
ExifOrientation.right_top

text.parse(raw, as: ExifOrientation) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as 0, 9 or 06.

Good to know

  • It is written as the number a camera records, from 1 to 8.
  • == tells you whether two are the same. < and list.sort_by don't take it.

In JSON

A string, in a request, a response or json.write:

json
"1""6""8"

Details

Text form, storage, how it is shown, and operations

ExifOrientation is in the group Media and visual, and has been in Jadpo since 0.1.0.

Text form

text.from writes one standard text form, the same form text.parse reads back: 1, 6 and 8.

How it is stored

It is stored in one column named for the field, of type text. 6 is stored as '6'.

How it is shown to people

text.format(value, locale:) shows it to people in their locale.

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value Shown
1 1
6 6
8 8

Operations

It also takes text.parse, text.from, text.format, json.read, json.write and ==. How every standard type behaves says how they work.
