Scatter plot
This scatter plot displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries using data from the 2018 United Nations World Population Prospects, with each circle sized at a fixed radius and colored red. It uses d3.csv to load the data, d3.scalePoint for the categorical x-axis, d3.scaleLinear for the population y-axis, and d3.axisLeft with a custom tick formatter that abbreviates large numbers (e.g., converting billions to “B”). The chart also customizes axes by removing domain lines, rotating x-axis labels, and adding a titled axis label, all rendered as SVG elements within a fixed 960×500 viewport.
