Customizing Axes
This bar chart displays the populations of the world’s ten most populous countries, based on 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. It shows that the y-axis uses a band scale for country names, while the x-axis uses a linear scale for population values. The code customizes D3 axes by removing domain lines, adding gridlines, and formatting tick labels to abbreviate billions with a ‘B’. It uses `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scaleBand`, `d3.axisLeft`, and `d3.axisBottom` with SVG rendering.
