_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This is an ``internal'' or ``infrequently called by users''
     function that takes one or more glyph names (specified as strings)
     and matches them agains tthe names of the possible glyphs
     understood by ggobi and returns the identifiers (integers)
     corresponding to ggobi's internal representation of those glyphs.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     mapGlyphType(types)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

   types: a character vector identifying one or more glyphs by name.
          See 'getGlyphTypes.ggobi' 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This queries the ggobi code to ask for the glyph representations
     (integers) and names and then matches the user specified values
     against these names.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An integer vector containing the  internal ggobi glyph identifiers
     for the glyph types identified by the user-specified names.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'getGlyphSizes.ggobi'

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

       mapGlyphType(c("plus", "x"))
