Raising Image with Tkinter and Python

Question

I have several images that I want to layer in a different order, than the order in which they were created. I am using Python with Tkinter and was wondering if someone could help me with this. The order that I create the images is:

#Using Tkinter
image1 = PhotoImage(file = "imageA.gif")
image2 = PhotoImage(file = "imageB.gif")
image3 = PhotoImage(file = "imageC.gif")
A = canvas.create_image(X,Y,image=image1)
B = canvas.create_image(X,Y,image=image2)
C = canvas.create_image(X,Y,image=image3)

The order in which I create the images cannot be changed, so as of right now C is on top of B which is on top of A.

Is there a way to change the order - without changing the order that I create them - so that B is on top of C, and both on top of A? Perhaps there is some sort of attribute like B.Ontopof(C) ? Thanks for your help in advance.

Can you specify what level it is, or does that raise up the image 1 level? – ben Dec 13 '12 at 22:48
default I think is one level ... but i think you can do a second argument to make it a specific level – Joran Beasley Dec 13 '12 at 22:53
