raise(n)                     Tk Built-In Commands                     raise(n)



______________________________________________________________________________

NAME
       raise - Change a window's position in the stacking order

SYNOPSIS
       raise window ?aboveThis?
______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       If the aboveThis argument is omitted then the command raises window so
       that it is above all of its siblings in the stacking order (it will not
       be obscured by any siblings and will obscure any siblings that overlap
       it).  If aboveThis is specified then it must be the path name of a
       window that is either a sibling of window or the descendant of a
       sibling of window.  In this case the raise command will insert window
       into the stacking order just above aboveThis (or the ancestor of
       aboveThis that is a sibling of window); this could end up either
       raising or lowering window.

       All toplevel windows may be restacked with respect to each other,
       whatever their relative path names, but the window manager is not
       obligated to strictly honor requests to restack.

EXAMPLE
       Make a button appear to be in a sibling frame that was created after
       it. This is is often necessary when building GUIs in the style where
       you create your activity widgets first before laying them out on the
       display:
              button .b -text "Hi there!"
              pack [frame .f -background blue]
              pack [label .f.l1 -text "This is above"]
              pack .b -in .f
              pack [label .f.l2 -text "This is below"]
              raise .b
