Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, based on 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects 2017, with population values scaled in thousands. It demonstrates how to customize D3 axes by removing domain lines and tick marks from the left axis, formatting population tick labels using `d3.format` to abbreviate values (e.g., replacing 'G' with 'B'), and extending tick lines across the chart with `tickSize`. The SVG rendering uses `d3.scaleLinear` and `d3.scaleBand`, with an axis label and title added as text elements.
