Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the populations of the top 10 most populous countries, based on 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. It illustrates how D3 axes can be customized: the x-axis uses a custom tick format (converting billions to ‘B’), while tick lines are extended across the plot area. The y-axis removes its domain line and ticks for a cleaner look. Built with D3 v5, the chart uses `scaleLinear` for the x-axis, `scaleBand` for the y-axis, and `axisBottom` and `axisLeft` for the axes, with styling applied via SVG and CSS.
