scatter plot Forked
This scatter plot displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, with each circle positioned by country on the y-axis and population on the x-axis. The code uses D3 v5’s `scaleLinear` and `scalePoint` for axes, `axisBottom` and `axisLeft` for tick marks, and `format` to abbreviate large numbers like “B” for billions. It loads data from a local CSV file converted from the 2018 UN World Population Prospects estimate. SVG circles are rendered with a steelblue fill, and custom styling is applied via CSS for tick text, labels, and the title.
