This example presents the top 10 most populous countries as a minimal bar chart, entirely devoid of axes, labels, or scale indicators. The visualization, rendered as SVG, computes bar lengths from population values using D3’s `scaleLinear` for the width and `scaleBand` for vertical placement. Data loads asynchronously from a United Nations World Population Prospects 2019 CSV via D3’s `csv` function, then is sliced to the top ten rows. The React `App` component manages state changes, while bars are drawn as simple `<rect>` elements within an SVG canvas.
