Fork of Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries using data from the 2018 United Nations World Population Prospects, with population values multiplied by 1000. It builds on a basic bar chart by customizing D3 axes: the y-axis labels are simplified by removing domain lines, the x-axis uses abbreviated tick formats (e.g., “B” for billions) via `d3.format`, and custom tick sizes create horizontal gridlines. The visualization is rendered with D3 v5 using `d3.csv`, `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scaleBand`, `d3.axisLeft`, and `d3.axisBottom`, with SVG elements styled via external CSS for typography and color.
