Bug report

Bug summary

Usingbar, the first input argument is not used for the left edge of the bar, but rather the center, as if the kwargalign='center' was used. However, the desired behavior is obtained in both cases when usingalign = 'center' andalign = 'edge'. Just whenalign is not specified, it should be 'edge' aligned which it is not.

Code for reproduction

importmatplotlib.pyplotaspltplt.bar([1], [1])plt.show()

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

In matplotlib 1.5.3 I got the expected behavior.

Matplotlib version
