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.






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
