Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the populations of the top 10 most populous countries, using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. It shows how D3 axes can be customized by removing the y-axis domain line and ticks, and by formatting x-axis tick labels to abbreviate large numbers (e.g., converting "G" to "B" for billions). The chart uses d3.scaleLinear, d3.scaleBand, d3.axisBottom, and d3.axisLeft from D3 v5, with an SVG rendering. Data is loaded from a CSV file and displayed with steelblue bars, a title, and an axis label.
