Fork of Pathetic Bar Chart
This example displays the top 10 most populous countries as horizontal bars without any axes, using raw SVG rectangles. The app loads United Nations population data from a CSV file, sorts it by 2020 figures, and maps country names to a d3.scaleBand for vertical positioning while a d3.scaleLinear scales bar widths. Built with React hooks (useState, useEffect), it fetches the dataset asynchronously via d3.csv. The chart intentionally lacks labels, ticks, or a scale, presenting only the relative lengths of bars to compare population sizes.
