Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries using 2018 estimates from the United Nations’ World Population Prospects 2017. It emphasizes customized axes: the vertical axis labels are enlarged, horizontal gridlines extend across the plot, and tick numbers are formatted with d3.format to abbreviate values (e.g., “1.42B”). The code uses d3.csv, d3.scaleLinear, d3.scaleBand, d3.axisLeft, and d3.axisBottom, rendering as SVG.
