Comments

Every *BeginCategoryOverride() statement requires a closing *EndCategoryOverride() statement.

Category overrides are used to show results that are represented as discrete numerical values using a custom category legend as opposed to a numerical legend.

See the *BeginCategoryOverride() Preference File statement for additional details on setting custom category overrides.
