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. The visualization uses D3.js v5 with an SVG rendering approach, employing `d3.scaleBand` for the categorical x-axis and `d3.scaleLinear` for the population values. Customized axes include rotated country labels, tick marks formatted with abbreviated units (e.g., "1.3B"), and a labeled y-axis emphasizing the population metric. The chart styles rectangles and text elements via CSS for a clean presentation.
