This example demonstrates the ranking of the 50 largest German companies by revenue, displayed as a horizontal bar chart. The chart uses a linear x-axis for revenue in billions and a categorical y-axis for company names, with bars drawn as SVG rectangles. The D3 v5 implementation builds the visualization using `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom`, loading data from a semicolon-delimited CSV file. The data originates from German Firm Statistics 2017.
