Horizontal barplot in d3.js

Steps:

The Html part of the code just creates a div that will be modified by d3 later on.

The first part of the javascript code set a svg area. It specify the chart size and its margin. Read more.

Data shows the amount of sold weapon per country. See data-to-viz if interested.

There is no specific trick for this chart. Compared to the vertical version, you just have to build the axis the other way around.

<!-- Load d3.js -->
<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v4.js"></script>

<!-- Create a div where the graph will take place -->
<div id="my_dataviz"></div>

// set the dimensions and margins of the graph
var margin = {top: 20, right: 30, bottom: 40, left: 90},
    width = 460 - margin.left - margin.right,
    height = 400 - margin.top - margin.bottom;

// append the svg object to the body of the page
var svg = d3.select("#my_dataviz")
  .append("svg")
    .attr("width", width + margin.left + margin.right)
    .attr("height", height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
  .append("g")
    .attr("transform",
          "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");

// Parse the Data
d3.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holtzy/data_to_viz/master/Example_dataset/7_OneCatOneNum_header.csv", function(data) {

  // Add X axis
  var x = d3.scaleLinear()
    .domain([0, 13000])
    .range([ 0, width]);
  svg.append("g")
    .attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")")

  // Y axis
  var y = d3.scaleBand()
    .range([ 0, height ])
    .domain(data.map(function(d) { return d.Country; }))
    .padding(.1);
  svg.append("g")
