Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the population of Quebec’s administrative regions, using data from the 2017 United Nations World Population Prospects. The example highlights customized D3 axes, including a left axis stripped of its domain line and ticks, and a bottom axis with a custom tick format that abbreviates numbers (e.g., converting millions to “M”). The SVG rendering uses d3.scaleLinear, d3.scaleBand, d3.axisLeft, and d3.axisBottom, with axis labels and tick styling applied via CSS.
