Text('first child, zIndex(2)') .size({width: '40%', height: '30%'}).backgroundColor(0xbbb2cb) .zIndex(2) // The default value is 0. Text('second child, default zIndex(0)') .size({width: '90%', height: '80%'}).backgroundColor(0xd2cab3).align(Alignment.TopStart) Text('third child, zIndex(1)') .size({width: '70%', height: '50%'}).backgroundColor(0xc1cbac).align(Alignment.TopStart) .zIndex(1) } }.width('100%').height(200) } } ``` ![](figures/zindex.png)
