# compose

With RTL, does automirror work for vector drawables being painted in compose? I’m not seeing it forcing a config change on device, or using the LocalLayoutDirection local

[Albert Chang]

I don’t think there is auto mirroring but you can easily create a modifier like this:

fun Modifier.mirrorIfNeeded(): Modifier = composed {
    if (LocalLayoutDirection.current == LayoutDirection.Ltr)
        Modifier else Modifier.scale(-1f, 1f)
}

I guess the thing is, I'd want to rely on the automirrored vector drawable property

@Nader Jawad is there an existing request for this already?

Literally just submitted support for this like 15 mins ago

So short answer is not yet but soon

In the meantime what Albert has suggested above will work.

@Nader Jawad you have no idea how tempted I was to fork it today and draft up a quick solution 😂

Looks like what I had in my head more or less matches what you were thinking too 🙂
