→Deeper root of the 'bug' ?
Line 188:
:::: To whatever extent the filling is uneven, the vertical axis is non-proportional. These two tasks are exactly equivalent.
::::: I disagree (I think you probably will too, on reflection :-) A chart with unused bins to left and right, representing sections of the scale into which no data fell, is no less proportional in the central bins that '''are''' filled.
:::: Mathematica and R's solutions are reasonable because they are solving a different and more general problem. A crucial difference is that they're making histograms suitable for plotting with a labeled x-axis. Integer breaks are valuable in that situation; perhaps valuable enough to sacrifice evenness.
