Use the Raise button to put the currently selected object(s) at the end of the drawing order; they will then
be drawn last, and will appear "on top" of all other objects which overlap.

The Lower button

on the VIEW toolbar performs in a manner opposite to that of the Raise button.

Use the Lower button to put the currently selected object(s) at the beginning of the drawing order; they will
then be drawn first, and will appear "beneath" all other objects which overlap.

4.2.6.11 Reversing an Object

An object (or set of objects that have been grouped together) can be reversed horizontally or vertically. To

reverse an object horizontally, select the item, then click on the Flip Left-To-Right button

on the

View toolbar. The item will be converted to a mirror image of the original. For example,

Figure 4-5

shows a

polygon (on the left) and a copy (on the right) which was reversed using the Flip Left-To-Right button.

Objects (or a set of grouped objects) can also reversed vertically, using the Flip Upside-Down button

from the View toolbar. When an object is selected and this button is clicked, the object will be

Note

The above discussion of the Raise button applies to the drawing
order of static objects. However, when a model is displayed in an
Operator Window, and the attributes of an object in the model are
modified according to the dynamics defined for that object (for
example, the object's fill color is changed in response to some
change in a tagname.atom), the object must be redrawn, which
places it on top of other objects. For this reason, it is recommended
that no objects be placed on "top" of dynamic objects. If it is
necessary to do so, dynamics must be also configured for the
objects "on top", so that all objects involved are redrawn when a
dynamic change occurs.

Note

The Raise and Lower features can also be accessed via the Grafx
menus, by selecting the menu sequence Edit > Order.
