## Discrete position scales {#sec-discrete-position}

It is also possible to map discrete variables to position scales, with the default scales being `scale_x_discrete()` and `scale_y_discrete()`.
For example, the following two plot specifications are equivalent

The limits, breaks, and labels for a discrete position scale can be set using the `limits`, `breaks`, and `labels` arguments.
For the most part these behave identically to the corresponding arguments for numeric scales (@sec-numeric-position-scales), though there are some differences.
For example, the limits of a discrete scale are not defined in terms of endpoints, but instead correspond to the set of allowable values for that variable.
Accordingly, ggplot2 expects that the `limits` of a discrete scale should be a character vector that enumerates all possible values in the order they should appear:
