XRaiseWindow(3) 		 XLIB FUNCTIONS 		 XRaiseWindow(3)

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

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

     int XLowerWindow(Display *display, Window w);

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

     int XCirculateSubwindowsUp(Display *display, Window w);

     int XCirculateSubwindowsDown(Display *display, Window w);

     int XRestackWindows(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  Ex-
     pose events for the window and any mapped subwindows that were formerly ob-
     scured.

     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, XCirculateSub-
     windows raises the lowest mapped child (if any) that is occluded by another
     child to the top of the stack.  If you specify LowerHighest, XCirculateSub-
     windows lowers the highest mapped child  (if  any)  that  occludes  another
     child to the bottom of the stack.	Exposure processing is then performed on
     formerly  obscured windows.  If some other client has selected Substructur-
     eRedirectMask on the window, the  X  server  generates  a	CirculateRequest
     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 sibling of the first 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.
