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 uses D3 v5 APIs including `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisBottom`, and `axisLeft` to customize axis ticks, formats, and grid lines. Population values are formatted in abbreviated units (e.g., billions) via `d3.format`. The SVG rendering highlights styling of tick labels, axis labels, and the chart title.
