Customizing Axes
This visualization displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries using a horizontal bar chart, with data sourced from the 2018 United Nations World Population Prospects. The example demonstrates how to customize D3 axes in an SVG rendering, building on a simpler bar chart tutorial. It uses D3 v5 APIs including `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` to position bars and style tick marks, labels, and axis lines via CSS. The chart reads population data from a CSV file and scales the values by 1,000.
