7.3.1.8 Display Placement
.........................

By default, displays are created from _top to bottom_--that is, each
new display is placed below the downmost one.  You can change this
setting to _left to right_ via `Edit => Preferences => Data =>
Placement => Left to right'.

   This setting is tied to the following resource:

 -- Resource: displayPlacement (class Orientation)
     If this is `XmVERTICAL' (default), DDD places each new independent
     display below the downmost one.  If this is `XmHORIZONTAL', each
     new independent display is placed on the right of the rightmost
     one.

   Note that changing the placement of new displays also affects the
placement of _dependent displays_ (Note: Dependent Values).  In _top
to bottom_ mode, dependent displays are created on the right of the
originating display; in _left to right_ mode, dependent displays are
created on the below the originating display.
