Customizing Axes
This bar chart shows the population of the top 10 most populous countries using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. It highlights how D3 axes can be customized, including rotated tick labels, a formatted population scale that abbreviates values like "1.4B", and removed axis lines. The visualization uses d3.csv, d3.scaleLinear, d3.scaleBand, d3.axisLeft, and d3.axisBottom, with SVG rendering. A custom tick format function converts G to B for billions, and grid lines extend across the chart.
