Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the top 10 most populous countries using 2018 population estimates from the United Nations’ World Population Prospects. It shows how to customize D3 axes, including tick formatting (converting large numbers to abbreviated billions), removing axis spines, and adding labels. The visualization uses `d3.csv` to load data, `d3.scaleLinear` and `d3.scaleBand` for scales, and `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft` for rendering. Styling is applied via CSS, while the SVG output is generated dynamically through D3 selections.
