BidiFlag

- com.ibm.as400.access.BidiFlag

```
public class BidiFlag
extends java.lang.Object
```
This class represents BidiFlag objects and provides initial values for all flag options.
Bidi text can be stored in different formats, which are characterized by 5 Bidi attributes, whose values may be stored in 5 Bidi flags. These 5 flags constitute a BidiFlagSet.
A BidiFlagSet object contains a value for each of the 5 Bidi flags which represent the Bidi attributes. The 5 attributes are:
- type of text (Implicit or Visual)
- orientation (LTR, RTL, Contextual LTR, Contextual RTL)
- symmetric swapping (Yes or No)
- numeral shapes (Nominal, National or Contextual)
- text shapes (Nominal, Shaped, Initial, Middle, Final or Isolated)
The BidiFlags are pre-defined in this class. Each one represents one possible value of one Bidi attribute. All possible values are defined, so there is no need (or possibility) to add new ones.
Multi-threading considerations: There are no multi-threading concerns for this class, since it only defines static final instances.
