Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the top 10 most populous countries using population estimates from the 2018 United Nations World Population Prospects. It highlights axis customization in D3 v5, showing how tick formats convert large numbers into abbreviated labels using `format('.3s')` and replacing 'G' with 'B' for billions. The axes are rendered as SVG elements with `axisBottom` and `axisLeft`, while gridlines, tick styling, and axis labels are adjusted through CSS and appended text elements. Population values are loaded from a CSV file and scaled linearly, with countries positioned by `scaleBand`.
