Customizing Axes
This visualization displays the top 10 most populous countries in 2018 using a vertical bar chart with customized axes. The chart uses `d3.csv` to load population data from a local file, `d3.scaleLinear` for the x-axis, and `d3.scaleBand` for the y-axis. Axis customization includes tick formatting with `d3.format` (converting values to billions), removal of default axis lines, and styled tick marks. The SVG rendering is built with D3 v5, and the data originally comes from the United Nations World Population Prospects 2017.
