The ``GtkOrientable`` interface is implemented by all widgets that can be
oriented horizontally or vertically.

``GtkOrientable`` is more flexible in that it allows the orientation to be
changed at runtime, allowing the widgets to “flip”.

CSS nodes
---------

``GtkWidget`` types implementing the ``GtkOrientable`` interface will
automatically acquire the ``horizontal`` or ``vertical`` CSS class depending on
the value of the :obj:`~gi.repository.Gtk.Orientable.props.orientation` property.
