Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. The visualization highlights customization of D3 axes, including tick formatting that converts large numbers into abbreviated forms (e.g., "B" for billion) and removal of default domain lines. It builds on a basic bar chart by adding a custom x-axis label, a title, and styled tick lines with gray strokes. The code uses D3 v5 functions like `axisBottom`, `axisLeft`, `scaleLinear`, and `scaleBand`, rendering to SVG with data loaded from a CSV file.
