Forked from Customizing Axes

This scatter plot displays the top ten most populous countries based on 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. Each circle’s position encodes population on the x-axis and country on the y-axis, with all circles sized at a fixed radius. The visualization uses D3’s `scaleLinear` and `scalePoint` for axes, `axisBottom` and `axisLeft` for tick marks, and `format` to abbreviate population numbers. Data is loaded from a CSV file, and the rendering is done via SVG, using circles to represent data points and custom styling for text and gridlines.
