Customizing Axes
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 emphasizes customized axes, with a linear scale for population and a band scale for countries, both rendered as SVG. The code relies on D3 v5 APIs such as `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom`, while formatting tick labels with `format`. Population values are multiplied by 1,000, and the chart includes a title and axis label, with grid lines created via custom tick sizing.
