 | It is common practice to complement a piece of artwork, such as, an image, bitmap, or photograph, with text for labeling, explanations, or legends. It is important in the bidirectional environment to treat the artwork and all its textual information separately with regard to their respective orientations.
Guideline H4
|
Ensure artwork orientation and text orientation are specified independently of one another.

This guideline complements Guideline A8 – Treating Icons and Clip Art as UI
Example: Consider the map of Canada with the text of all the names of her provinces and territories in Arabic or Hebrew. The Arabic or Hebrew names should appear on the map in right-to-left order, but the map of Canada must not be mirrored with British Columbia as the rightmost province!
