Customizing Axes
This visualization displays a bar chart of estimated billionaire populations from 2018 United Nations data, comparing the top 10 countries by wealth. The chart customizes D3 axes by removing default domain lines, using a custom tick format that converts abbreviations like 'G' to 'B', and adding axis labels and a title. It uses d3.scaleLinear, d3.scaleBand, d3.axisLeft, and d3.axisBottom from D3 v5, with SVG rendering and CSS styling for tick text, lines, and labels. The margins and inner dimensions are computed to position the chart within a 960×500 SVG canvas.
