## raise

Change a window's position in the stacking order

### SYNOPSIS

(raise window)
(raise window aboveThis)

### DESCRIPTION

If the aboveThis argument is omitted then the procedure 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 procedure 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.
