/**
 * @class   vtkStringToCategory
 * @brief   Creates a category array from a string array
 *
 *
 * vtkStringToCategory creates an integer array named "category" based on the
 * values in a string array.  You may use this filter to create an array that
 * you may use to color points/cells by the values in a string array.  Currently
 * there is not support to color by a string array directly.
 * The category values will range from zero to N-1,
 * where N is the number of distinct strings in the string array.  Set the string
 * array to process with SetInputArrayToProcess(0,0,0,...).  The array may be in
 * the point, cell, or field data of the data object.
 *
 * The list of unique strings, in the order they are mapped, can also be
 * retrieved from output port 1. They are in a vtkTable, stored in the "Strings"
 * column as a vtkStringArray.
