Function: scaleOrdinal() ​
scaleOrdinal<
TDomain,TRange>(domain,range):OrdinalScale<TDomain,TRange>
Defined in: packages/core/src/scales/ordinal.ts:17
Creates an ordinal scale mapping each distinct domain value to a value from range, cycling when there are more domain values than range values. Unknown values encountered later are assigned the next range slot (so a chart can color series without pre-declaring every category). Unlike the numeric scales this maps value → value of any type; its most common use is categorical color.
