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.
