SUMMARY
Currently in tablet settings when modifying a dial action it reads Up/Down
which is confusing depending on which side of the dial you're rotating it with.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings -> Drawing Tablet -> Pad and select a Dial to assign an
action to
OBSERVED RESULT
Dialog box has "Up:" and "Down:"
EXPECTED RESULT
Dialog box should read "Clockwise:" and "Counter-clockwise:" or (better) have
curved arrows indicating direction.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When working on adding a tablet via libwacom and udev-hid-bpf, the result of
clockwise/counterclockwise dial motions are confusing when labeled as Up/Down.
(see attachment)
For example, when moving a dial this is the raw USB output:
01 00 00 00 00 00 (01) 00 clockwise
01 00 00 00 00 00 (ff) 00 counter-clockwise
And when set up to go clockwise (1) and counterclockwise (-1) in udev-hid-bpf
the "Up:" label is referring to counterclockwise motion. (If you're rotating up
from the right side of the dial, that would make sense, but if you rotate up
from the left side of the dial, it seems reversed.)
This is mostly a clarity issue since a dial on the left or right side of a
tablet, or if someone left-handed or right handed, might be adjusting the dial
from a different angle where Up/Down is relative.
Indicating the actual direction would be much clearer.
