population of countries ICE-5
This bar chart shows the population of the top 10 most populous countries, using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. The chart displays population values on the x-axis and country names on the y-axis, with each bar colored steelblue and axis labels featuring custom formatting that abbreviates large numbers. The visualization is built with D3 v5, using `scaleLinear` and `scaleBand` for the axes, `axisBottom` and `axisLeft` for tick marks, and SVG rendering for the output. Data is loaded from a local CSV file, with population values multiplied by 1000 before rendering.
