Ordinal Scatter Plot
This ordinal scatter plot displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, with each country positioned along a categorical y-axis and its population on a linear x-axis. The data, sourced from the 2017 United Nations World Population Prospects, is preprocessed by multiplying values by 1000. Using D3 v5, the visualization employs `scalePoint` for the ordinal y-axis and `scaleLinear` with `.nice()` for the x-axis, rendering circles via SVG. Axes are generated with `axisLeft` and `axisBottom`, with tick labels formatted using `format('.3s')` to abbreviate large numbers.
