+# isDiscreteScale
+
+> Test if an input value is a [discrete scale][@stdlib/plot/vega/scale/discrete].
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var isDiscreteScale = require( '@stdlib/plot/vega/base/assert/is-discrete-scale' );
+```
+
+#### isDiscreteScale( value )
+
+Tests if an input value is a [discrete scale][@stdlib/plot/vega/scale/discrete].
+
+```javascript
+var DiscreteScale = require( '@stdlib/plot/vega/scale/discrete' );
+
+var v = new DiscreteScale({
+ 'name': 'xScale',
+ 'type': 'ordinal'
+});
+var bool = isDiscreteScale( v );
+// returns true
+
+bool = isDiscreteScale( {} );
+// returns false
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Examples
+
+
+
+```javascript
+var DiscreteScale = require( '@stdlib/plot/vega/scale/discrete' );
+var isDiscreteScale = require( '@stdlib/plot/vega/base/assert/is-discrete-scale' );
