If \fIaboveThis\fR is specified then it must be the path name of a window that is either a sibling of \fIwindow\fR or the descendant of a sibling of \fIwindow\fR. In this case the \fBraise\fR command will insert \fIwindow\fR into the stacking order just above \fIaboveThis\fR (or the ancestor of \fIaboveThis\fR that is a sibling of \fIwindow\fR); this could end up either raising or lowering \fIwindow\fR. .SH 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: .CS 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"] \fBraise\fR .b .CE .SH "SEE ALSO" lower(n) .SH KEYWORDS obscure, raise, stacking order
