Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the populations of the top 2 most populous cities, Shanghai and Beijing, using estimated data from the United Nations World Population Prospects 2017. The visualization highlights customized D3 axes: the y-axis uses a band scale with ticks stripped of lines and domain, while the x-axis uses a linear scale with tick formatting that abbreviates numbers (e.g., converting billions to "B"). The SVG renderer applies distinct styling to ticks, labels, and the chart title via CSS.
