Fork of Making a bar chart
This bar chart displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. The chart orders countries vertically by name and encodes population as horizontal bar lengths, with a formatted x-axis labeled "Population" and a title at the top. Built with D3 v5, the code uses `d3.scaleLinear` for the x-axis, `d3.scaleBand` for the y-axis, and `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft` for axes, while rendering all elements as SVG. Data is loaded from a CSV file and multiplied by 1000 to reflect actual population figures.
