SYNTAX

       int XRaiseWindow(Display *display, Window w);

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

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.  Otherwise, 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 window 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.  Otherwise, the window is lowered to the bottom of
       the stack.

       XLowerWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

       The XCirculateSubwindows function circulates children of the specified window in the
       specified direction.  If you specify RaiseLowest, XCirculateSubwindows raises the lowest
       mapped child (if any) that is occluded by another child to the top of the stack.  If you
       specify LowerHighest, XCirculateSubwindows 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 SubstructureRedirectMask
       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 underneath 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 argument, 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.
