Customizing Axes
This example presents a horizontal bar chart of the top 10 most populous countries, based on 2018 United Nations estimates. It highlights customized D3 axes: the bottom axis uses tick formatting that abbreviates large numbers (e.g., converting millions to "B"), while the left axis removes its domain and tick lines for a cleaner look. The chart is rendered as SVG using d3.scaleLinear, d3.scaleBand, axisBottom, and axisLeft, with gridlines via tickSize(-innerHeight) and a custom title and axis label.
