Fork of Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, based on 2018 United Nations World Population Prospects estimates. The chart plots countries along the y-axis and population counts along the x-axis, using a linear scale for population and a band scale for countries. Built with D3 v5, the code employs `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisBottom`, `axisLeft`, and a custom tick formatter that converts numbers to abbreviated units like "B" for billions. The SVG rendering includes gridlines, axis labels, and a title, with styling applied via CSS classes.
