margin convention bar chart
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 demonstrates the margin convention by applying a 20-pixel margin around a 500-pixel SVG canvas, with the inner chart area offset via a translate transform. Built with React and D3 v5, it uses `scaleBand` for the categorical y-axis, `scaleLinear` for the numeric x-axis, and `csv()` to load remote data. Rectangles are rendered per country with widths proportional to population, while the axes styling shows customization through CSS tick and text formatting.
