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 customizes D3 v5 axes by removing domain lines, adding gridlines through tick sizing, and reformatting tick labels with `d3.format('.3s')` to abbreviate large numbers as billions. The code uses `d3.scaleBand` for the categorical country axis and `d3.scaleLinear` for the population axis, with a left margin accommodating country names and an axis label below the x-axis. Custom CSS styles the tick text, gridlines, title, and axis labels.
