Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the populations of the top 10 most populous countries, using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. It shows how D3 axes can be customized, including removing default domain lines, adding a descriptive axis label, and formatting tick labels with the `format` function to abbreviate large numbers (e.g., converting billions to ’B’). The visualization uses `d3.csv`, `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scaleBand`, `d3.axisBottom`, and `d3.axisLeft` to render the SVG chart.
