You can select from the following orientation options:

Right orientation displays your hint message on the right side of the selected element (context).
Left orientation displays your hint message on the left side of the selected element (context).
Top orientation displays your hint message above the selected element (context).
Bottom orientation displays your hint message below the selected element (context).
Bottom Left orientation displays your hint message below the selected element (context) on the left side.
Bottom Right orientation displays your hint message below the selected element (context) on the right side.
Top Left orientation displays your hint message above the selected element (context) on the left side.
