# --description--
2020-02-25 22:53:07 -06:00
There are a number of D3 functions to work with how the "ticks" or your axis labels are displayed; one of them is `ticks` . Go back to where you defined the `yAxis` variable and chain a `ticks` function to it and pass it these two arguments: `6, '~s'` .
The `6` will set the number of ticks used to 6, and the `~s` will make the labels display the number of thousands followed by a `k` . For example, `4000` will become `4k` .
