+\constfunc{wxLayoutDirection}{GetLayoutDirection}{\void}
+
+Gets the current layout direction of the device context. On platforms where RTL layout
+is supported, the return value will either be \texttt{wxLayout\_LeftToRight} or
+\texttt{wxLayout\_RightToLeft}. If RTL layout is not supported, the return value will
+be \texttt{wxLayout\_Default}.
