NAME
     glcGetStringMetric - return a string metric


C SPECIFICATION
     GLfloat* glcGetStringMetric( GLCenum inMetric,
                                  GLfloat *outVec )


PARAMETERS
     inMetric  Specifies the string to be measured.

     outVec    Specifies a vector in which the metric is stored.

DESCRIPTION
     glcGetStringMetric retrieves a string from the GLC measurement buffer,
     measures it, and stores the result in outVec.

     To store a string in the measurement buffer, call glcMeasureCountedString
     or glcMeasureString.

     If glcGetStringMetric does not raise an error, its return value is
     outVec.

ERRORS
     GLCPARAMETERERROR is generated if inMetric is less than zero or is
     greater than or equal to the value of the variable
     GLCMEASUREDCHARCOUNT.

     GLCSTATEERROR is generated if the issuing thread has no current GLC
     context.
