Customizing Axes
This visualization displays the top 10 most populous countries using a horizontal bar chart, based on 2018 United Nations population estimates. The chart shows customized axes, with the y-axis stripped of its line and ticks, and the x-axis using abbreviated population labels like “1.42B” via `d3.format`. Built with D3 v5, it uses `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scaleBand`, `d3.axisBottom`, and `d3.axisLeft`, rendered as SVG. Gridlines extend from the x-axis ticks, and axis labels and a title are added manually.
