WordOrientation

is an option for WordCloud that specifies the orientations in which words appear.

Details

	"Horizontal"	all horizontal
	"Vertical"	all vertical
	θ	all at angle θ
	"HorizontalVertical"	almost half horizontal, half vertical
	{"HorizontalVertical",f}	fraction f of the words are horizontal; the rest are vertical
	"Random"	randomly select from the range
	{θ₁,θ₂}	word rotations randomly taken from the range {θ₁,θ₂}
	{{θ₁,θ₂,…}}	randomly select from the list of rotations θ_i

Rotation angle θ_i represents words rotated counterclockwise by θ_i radians.
For all settings allowing random choices of angle the RandomSeeding option to WordCloud can be used to determine the seeding of the randomness used.
