Order Method

The Order method controls the Z-order of a graphics item relative to other graphics items.

Example

; Create a deck of cards.

w = WINDOW()

x = [0,0.25,0.25,0]

y = [0,0,0.5,0.5]

r = OBJARR(20)

for i=0,19 do r[i] = POLYGON(x+i/30.,y+i/40.,FILL_COLOR=!COLOR.(i))

WAIT, 1

; Bring every other card forward by one.

for i=0,19,2 do r[i].Order, /BRING_FORWARD

WAIT, 1

; Send the same cards to the back.

for i=0,19,2 do r[i].Order, /SEND_TO_BACK

WAIT, 1

; Pick a card, any card.

card = (20*RANDOMU(seed,1))[0]

r[card].Order, /BRING_TO_FRONT

graphic.Order [, /BRING_FORWARD] [, /BRING_TO_FRONT] [, /SEND_BACKWARD] [, /SEND_TO_BACK]
