Abstract
Hermitian metrics are ubiquitous in complex analysis and differential geometry. As Grauert-Reckziegel first remarked [G-R], it is also useful to consider a function measuring length, without the triangle inequality. The first section briefly summarizes the definition and basic properties of such a function.
