Symbian UI can rotate between the portrait and landscape layout. This section +describes the guidelines for designing landscape-aware application user interfaces. +On the whole, the primary guideline in the Symbian platform is that no specific +UI design is necessary for landscape orientation and mode. Instead, applications +designed according to the guidelines described in this section should work +in both landscape orientation and with the default portrait orientation. This +section does, however, describe some exceptions to this rule.

+

The Symbian platform in landscape orientation follows the bottom softkey +style. In the bottom softkey style, the layout of the normal portrait UI is +merely stretched horizontally to fit the screen, leaving the softkeys below +the screen as in standard portrait orientation.

Using +portrait and landscape layouts in C++ applications

Switching between +portrait and landscape layouts is handled in the application and UI frameworks +using layout change +events.
