Forked from Customizing Axes

This example shows a horizontal bar chart of the top 10 most populous countries, using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. It builds on a basic bar chart by customizing the D3 axes, removing default tick lines, and reformatting population values with abbreviations like "B" for billions. The code uses D3 v5 APIs such as `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisBottom`, and `axisLeft`, rendering to SVG. Population data is loaded from a CSV file and multiplied by 1000 to reflect actual values.

AI-generated description

This bar chart shows population of the top 10 most populous countries. The data comes from the year 2018 estimate in United Nations: World Population Prospects 2017. It also demonstrates customization of D3 axes.
