raise(1T) Tk Built-In Commands raise(1T)______________________________________________________________________________NAMEraise - Change a window's position in the stacking order
SYNOPSISraise 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 win‐
dow 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
