[BUG] When using permute = (:x, :y) on a bar plot the bars are not automatically centered

[georgemetzger]

Details

When plotting a horizontal bar plot with permute the plot is not centered; the bars run to the edges and bar_edges does not seem to have any effect. Plots can be adjusted with ylims! but this would become tedious when refreshing data or making new plots.

This error arrises due to the permutation not correctly permuting the widen tags of the axis.
The widen tags are set during the recipe pipeline, and set to auto for the xaxis and false for the yaxis, however the axis do get switched due to the permute.
For now a workaround is to pass
plt = histrogram(x; permute(:x, :y), widen=false) (easiest)
or
plt = histogram(x; permute=(:x, :y), ywiden=false, xwiden=true) (contains the permutation bug; prob. breaks once the bug is fixed)
