XRaiseWindow(3X11)	       XLIB FUNCTIONS		   XRaiseWindow(3X11)



NAME
  XRaiseWindow, XLowerWindow, XCirculateSubwindows, XCirculateSubwindowsUp,
  XCirculateSubwindowsDown, XRestackWindows - change window stacking order

SYNTAX
  XRaiseWindow(display, w)
	Display *display;
	Window w;

  XLowerWindow(display, w)
	Display *display;
	Window w;

  XCirculateSubwindows(display, w, direction)
	Display *display;
	Window w;
	int direction;

  XCirculateSubwindowsUp(display, w)
	Display *display;
	Window w;

  XCirculateSubwindowsDown(display, w)
	Display *display;
	Window w;

  XRestackWindows(display, windows, nwindows);
	Display *display;
	Window windows[];
	int nwindows;

ARGUMENTS

  direction Specifies the direction (up or down) that you want to circulate
	    the window. You can pass RaiseLowest or LowerHighest.

  display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

  nwindows  Specifies the number of windows to be restacked.

  w	    Specifies the window.

  windows   Specifies an array containing the windows to be restacked.

DESCRIPTION
  The XRaiseWindow function raises the specified window to the top of the
  stack so that no sibling window obscures it.	If the windows are regarded
  as overlapping sheets of paper stacked on a desk, then raising a window is
  analogous to moving the sheet to the top of the stack but leaving its x and
  y location on the desk constant.  Raising a mapped window may generate
  Expose events for the window and any mapped subwindows that were formerly
  obscured.

  If the override-redirect attribute of the window is False and some other
  client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X server
  generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no processing is performed.  Other-
  wise, the window is raised.


  XRaiseWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

  The XLowerWindow function lowers the specified window to the bottom of the
  stack so that it does not obscure any sibling windows.  If the windows are
  regarded as overlapping sheets of paper stacked on a desk, then lowering a
  window is analogous to moving the sheet to the bottom of the stack but
  leaving its x and y location on the desk constant.  Lowering a mapped win-
  dow will generate Expose events on any windows it formerly obscured.

  If the override-redirect attribute of the window is False and some other
  client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X server
  generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no processing is performed. Other-
  wise, the window is lowered to the bottom of the stack.

  XLowerWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

  The XCirculateSubwindows function circulates children of the specified win-
  dow in the specified direction.  If you specify RaiseLowest, XCircula-
  teSubwindows raises the lowest mapped child (if any) that is occluded by
  another child to the top of the stack.  If you specify LowerHighest, XCir-
  culateSubwindows lowers the highest mapped child (if any) that occludes
  another child to the bottom of the stack.  Exposure processing is then per-
  formed on formerly obscured windows.	If some other client has selected
  SubstructureRedirectMask on the window, the X server generates a Circula-
  teRequest event, and no further processing is performed.  If a child is
  actually restacked, the X server generates a CirculateNotify event.

  XCirculateSubwindows can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

  The XCirculateSubwindowsUp function raises the lowest mapped child of the
  specified window that is partially or completely occluded by another child.
  Completely unobscured children are not affected.  This is a convenience
  function equivalent to XCirculateSubwindows with RaiseLowest specified.

  XCirculateSubwindowsUp can generate a BadWindow error.

  The XCirculateSubwindowsDown function lowers the highest mapped child of
  the specified window that partially or completely occludes another child.
  Completely unobscured children are not affected.  This is a convenience
  function equivalent to XCirculateSubwindows with LowerHighest specified.

  XCirculateSubwindowsDown can generate a BadWindow error.

  The XRestackWindows function restacks the windows in the order specified,
  from top to bottom.  The stacking order of the first window in the windows
  array is unaffected, but the other windows in the array are stacked under-
  neath the first window, in the order of the array.  The stacking order of
  the other windows is not affected.  For each window in the window array
  that is not a child of the specified window, a BadMatch error results.

  If the override-redirect attribute of a window is False and some other
  client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X server
  generates ConfigureRequest events for each window whose override-redirect
  flag is not set, and no further processing is performed.  Otherwise, the
  windows will be restacked in top to bottom order.

  XRestackWindows can generate BadWindow error.



DIAGNOSTICS

  BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by
	    the request.  Unless a specific range is specified for an argu-
	    ment, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted.
	    Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this
	    error.

  BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
