+
+    This property can be used to query the default layout direction of the
+    application. On system start-up, the default layout direction depends on the
+    application's language. The property has a value Qt.RightToLeft in locales
+    where text and graphic elements are read from right to left, and Qt.LeftToRight
+    where the reading direction flows from left to right. You can bind to the
+    property to customize your application layouts to support both layout
+    directions. This property is readonly.
