I've played several orchestral pieces where the violin parts include
glissandi ranging over several strings.
Mahler Symphony no. 4 comes to my mind, for example. I'm still
uncertain on exactly how to play it, though, but perhaps the idea is
that every player does it somewhat differently and the collective
effect is what the composer is looking for.
For solo guitar (which I guess this thread is about), I have no idea.

For something like the image attached played on guitar, I would slide
up as far as possible on the 2nd string starting at the C, then make
as elegant an arrival on the high G as possible. This sort of stuff
happens with some frequency in guitar music and sound pretty good.
I have no idea how you do that across four strings on a violin. :)
