Fork of Making a Bar Chart
This example displays the top 10 most populous countries as a horizontal bar chart, using 2018 population estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. The chart customizes D3 axes by removing domain lines, adding tick marks, and formatting population values with the `format('.3s')` function, which converts large numbers into abbreviated labels like “B.” The visualization is built with D3 v5, loading data from a CSV file via `d3.csv`, and uses `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` to render SVG bars, labels, and a title.
