Customizing Axes
This example displays a horizontal bar chart of the top 10 most populous countries, using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. It highlights customized D3 axes, including formatted tick labels that abbreviate large numbers, removed axis lines, and custom gridlines. Built with D3 v5, it uses `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisBottom`, and `axisLeft` to render the chart in SVG. The population values are multiplied by 1000 from the CSV data, and a custom tick format converts billions to "B".
