Customized bar chart
This example presents a customized bar chart of COVID-19 case counts by U.S. jurisdiction, using data from August 2020. It displays the top ten locations ordered along the vertical axis, with horizontal bar lengths encoding total cases. The visualization is built with React and D3 v5, leveraging `scaleBand` for categorical positioning, `scaleLinear` for quantitative scaling, and `csv` for data loading. SVG rendering produces the bars, axes, and tick labels, with D3’s `format` function abbreviating large numbers (e.g., converting billions to “B”).
