### getFlowLayoutPresentationContext(HttpServletRequest) Method

    public static FlowLayoutPresentationContext getFlowLayoutPresentationContext(HttpServletRequest request)

This is a convenience method for returning a reference to the one and only FlowLayoutPresentationContext. Note this method will only work if called from within a portal (typically, from the flowlayout.jsp skeleton). This method may return null if called when no appropriate context exists, but such a context should safely exist when being fetched from the associated skeleton JSP during normal portal rendering.

#### Parameters

request
  The current HTTPServletRequest instance

#### Returns

A reference to the current FlowLayoutPresentationContext, if any

### getOrientation() Method

    public String getOrientation()

Returns the text of the orientation attribute specified in the .layout file that corresponds to this `FlowLayout` portal component. Will be either `FlowLayout.ORIENT_HORIZONTAL` or `FlowLayout.ORIENT_VERTICAL`.

#### Returns

The text of the orientation attribute as a String. If unspecified, `FlowLayout.ORIENT_VERTICAL` is returned.

#### Returns

true if the orientation attribute is set to "horizontal"

### isVertical() Method

    public boolean isVertical()

#### Returns

true if the orientation attribute is set to "vertical"
