Customizing Axes
This example presents a horizontal bar chart ranking the top 10 most populous countries (from a 2018 UN World Population Prospects estimate) by their population. The visualization stands out through its custom axes: the y-axis strips away default domain lines and tick lines, while the x-axis uses a custom tick format (d3.format('.2s')) and extends grid lines across the plotting area. Built with d3.v5, the code uses `scaleLinear` and `scaleBand` to map data to coordinates, `axisLeft` and `axisBottom` to generate axes, and SVG for rendering, with extensive styling applied via CSS.
