Vertical bar chart
This vertical bar chart displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects 2017 dataset. The visualization uses d3.scaleLinear for the y-axis and d3.scaleBand for the x-axis, with d3.axisLeft and d3.axisBottom to render customized axes—including rotated x-axis labels and formatted tick values that convert billions to "B". The chart is rendered as SVG elements, with steelblue rectangles for bars, and demonstrates axis customization through tick size, padding, and gridlines.
