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 GLC_PARAMETER_ERROR is generated if inMetric is less than zero or is greater than or equal to the value of the variable GLC_MEASURED_CHAR_COUNT. GLC_STATE_ERROR is generated if the issuing thread has no current GLC context. SEE ALSO glcGetCharMetric, glcGetMaxCharMetric, glcGetStringCharMetric, glcMeasureCountedString, glcMeasureString
