Description
plt.hist range bug
When using plt.hist with multiple input data sets, not supplying a range, and using a string-based binning option ('auto', for example), the range determined will cut off the later datasets and only fully include the first.
Code for reproduction
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
data = np.random.normal(0, 1, size=1000)
data2 = np.random.normal(3, 1, size=1000)
data3 = np.random.normal(6, 1, size=1000)
plt.hist([data, data2, data3], bins='auto', histtype='stepfilled', stacked=False)
Expected outcome
This is the plot using the bin-edges as determined by np.histogram using the following code:
_, be = np.histogram([data, data2, data3], bins='auto')
plt.hist([data, data2, data3], bins=be, histtype='stepfilled', stacked=False)
