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 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
