Customizing Axes
This bar chart shows the population of the top 10 most populous countries using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. The example highlights how to customize D3 axes, including rotated tick labels, formatted tick values (e.g., converting billions to “B”), and grid lines with reduced opacity. It uses `d3.scaleBand` for the categorical country axis and `d3.scaleLinear` with `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft` for the population scale. Data is loaded from a CSV file and rendered as SVG rectangles within a fixed margin layout.
