Making a Barchart
This bar chart displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. The visualization uses D3 v5’s `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` to map population values to bar widths and country names to vertical positions, with axes customized via CSS. Data is loaded from a local CSV file and rendered as SVG rectangles, with a margin-based layout separating the plot from the axes.
