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. It shows how to customize D3 axes, including removing the default domain lines, adjusting tick formatting to abbreviate large numbers (e.g., converting "G" to "B" for billions), and adding a custom axis label. The code uses d3.scaleLinear for the x-axis, d3.scaleBand for the y-axis, and d3.axisBottom with tickSize to draw grid lines. Data is loaded from a CSV file using d3.csv.
