This bar chart displays population counts for five countries, with each country listed on the vertical axis and a horizontal bar whose length is proportional to its population value. The visualization uses D3 version 6’s `scaleLinear` for the quantitative x-axis and `scaleBand` for the categorical y-axis, rendering rectangles as SVG elements within a fixed 960 by 500 canvas. Data is loaded from a local CSV file (`data.csv`) via D3’s `csv` function, and the code appends the bars dynamically to the SVG container. The example demonstrates a straightforward mapping of tabular data to a bar chart using D3’s declarative API.
