Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the top 10 most populous countries using a horizontal layout, with country names on the y-axis and population values on the x-axis. The visualization highlights custom axis styling, including removed default axis lines, tick marks with a gray tone, and formatted population labels that abbreviate large numbers using D3's `format` function. It uses `d3.csv` to load population data, `d3.scaleBand` for the categorical y-axis, and `d3.scaleLinear` for the numeric x-axis, rendering with SVG. The chart also adds a custom title and axis label.
