<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Tk Built-In Commands - lower manual page</TITLE></HEAD><BODY> <H3><A NAME="M2">NAME</A></H3> lower - Change a window's position in the stacking order <H3><A NAME="M3">SYNOPSIS</A></H3> <B>lower </B><I>window </I>?<I>belowThis</I>?<BR> <H3><A NAME="M4">DESCRIPTION</A></H3> If the <I>belowThis</I> argument is omitted then the command lowers <I>window</I> so that it is below all of its siblings in the stacking order (it will be obscured by any siblings that overlap it and will not obscure any siblings). If <I>belowThis</I> is specified then it must be the path name of a window that is either a sibling of <I>window</I> or the descendant of a sibling of <I>window</I>. In this case the <B>lower</B> command will insert <I>window</I> into the stacking order just below <I>belowThis</I> (or the ancestor of <I>belowThis</I> that is a sibling of <I>window</I>); this could end up either raising or lowering <I>window</I>. <H3><A NAME="M5">SEE ALSO</A></H3> <B><A HREF="../TclCmd/raise.htm">raise</A></B> <H3><A NAME="M6">KEYWORDS</A></H3> <A href="../Keywords/L.htm#lower">lower</A>, <A href="../Keywords/O.htm#obscure">obscure</A>, <A href="../Keywords/S.htm#stacking order">stacking order</A> <HR><PRE> <A HREF="../copyright.htm">Copyright</A> © 1990 The Regents of the University of California. <A HREF="../copyright.htm">Copyright</A> © 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. <A HREF="../copyright.htm">Copyright</A> © 1995-1997 Roger E.
