I'm a former PC user. How do I tile/cascade windows on my macbook pro os x 10.9.1?

Is there a way to cascade/tile/stack Windows on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1? It's easy to do on a Windows PC, but I haven't figured out how to do it on a MAC. If there's not a way to do it, do MacBook Pros offer another way to do the same thing? I've already gone through the Switch Basics documents, but it doesn't cover that topic.

If an app, e.g. Chrome browser, has a "Window" menu item

- Window Bring all to front will make all windows visible

Holding Option key makes that

- Window Arrange in Front which cascades all windows where they're visible

You might look at BetterTouchTool

<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/32953/bettertouchtool>

which has options to perform some of the Windows positioning tricks. Not sure if it provides exactly what you wish, but it is worth a try, especially since you have a Macbook Pro with a touchpad that BetterTouchTool can enhance.
