Since this setting affects each column, a list of values is needed in order to determine how to draw them.
When values are enclosed between parentheses, a new list is defined at once. The snippet below specifies a vertical heading on the 1st column and horizontal heading on the 2nd column.
COLUMN-HEADINGS-LAYOUT = (1, 0)
When a single value greater than or equal to zero is set, it is appended to the list. This is useful to define a user-defined appearance.
Setting the property to -1 resets the list.
Bitmaps shown in the heading cells are not rotated along with the text.
