Customizing Axes
This horizontal bar chart displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, using data from the 2018 United Nations World Population Prospects estimate. Built with D3 v5, it customizes the axes by removing default domain lines, applying a tick format that converts "G" to "B" for billions, and styling tick labels and grid lines via CSS. The left axis uses `axisLeft` with scaleBand, while the bottom axis uses `axisBottom` with scaleLinear and negative tick lengths to create gridlines. Population values are multiplied by 1000 to convert from thousands.
