Customizing Axes
This bar chart shows the top 10 most populous countries using 2018 United Nations population estimates, with a custom horizontal axis that formats numbers in compact notation (e.g., “1.4B” instead of “1,415,046”). Built with D3 v5, the visualization uses `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisBottom`, and `axisLeft` to render SVG bars, while removing default axis domain lines and adding custom tick formatting, axis labels, and a title. The code loads data from a CSV file with `d3.csv` and scales population values by 1,000 for accurate display.
