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

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 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 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.
