This bar chart displays the populations of the top 10 most populous countries, using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects 2017. The visualization demonstrates how to customize D3 axes, including tick labels, grid lines, and axis labels, through the use of CSS classes applied to SVG elements. The chart is rendered as an SVG element, and the data is loaded from a CSV file using D3’s `csv` function, with populations converted to numbers before the bars are drawn.
