Forked from Customizing Axes

This example shows a bar chart of the top 10 most populous countries in 2018, based on United Nations data, with customized axes. It builds on a basic bar chart by removing default axis lines, adding grid lines through tick sizing, and formatting population labels with suffixes like “B” for billions. The code uses D3 v5 APIs such as `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisBottom`, and `axisLeft`, along with SVG rendering. Population values from the CSV are multiplied by 1000 to reflect true counts.

AI-generated description

This bar chart shows population of the top 10 most populous countries. The data comes from the year 2018 estimate in United Nations: World Population Prospects 2017. It also demonstrates customization of D3 axes.
