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.
