Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the populations of the top 10 most populous countries, based on 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. Built with D3 v5, it visualizes the data as horizontal bars and demonstrates customized axes. The code uses `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scaleBand`, `d3.axisBottom`, and `d3.axisLeft`, with the x-axis tick format converting large numbers to abbreviated values like "1.4B". The chart also removes default axis domains and gridlines, while custom styling is applied through CSS classes for ticks, labels, and the title.
