05_Customizing Axes
This visualization shows the top 10 most populous countries based on 2018 United Nations estimates, with China, India, and the United States leading. It builds on a basic bar chart by customizing d3.axisBottom with tick formatting that converts large numbers to abbreviated labels, turning G into B for billions. The chart removes default domain lines and tick marks from both axes, adds a rotated title, and includes explanatory axis labels. Data is loaded from a CSV file and rendered as SVG rectangles using d3.scaleLinear for the population scale and d3.scaleBand for the country categories.
