This scatter plot visualizes the population of the top 10 most populous countries in 2018, with each circle’s horizontal position scaled linearly by population and vertical position determined by a point scale for country names. The chart uses d3.csv to load the data, d3.scaleLinear and d3.scalePoint for positioning, and d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft with tick size adjustments to create gridlines. Circle elements are appended to an SVG, styled with steelblue fill, and axis labels use d3.format for compact number notation.
