Hi!

It is a common case when we need to visualize XY data pairs on a Bar graph. However, often we need to show the Y-values/bars side-by-side of each others, therefore we need to code extra lines not to directly use the raw X-values for the PlotBar() methode.

Example what I need to do now for this:

double[] xs = { 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 };
double[] ys = { 0.02, 0.01, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.03 };
int barCount = xs.Length; 
//artificial X values to make Bars side by side without data gaps in X-axis:
double[] x_consecutive = DataGen.Consecutive(barCount);
                        
// make the bar plot
formsPlot1.plt.PlotBar(x_consecutive, ys);
                        
// apply custom axis tick labels
formsPlot1.plt.XTicks(x_consecutive, xs.Select(item => item.ToString()).ToArray());
formsPlot1.Render();

It would be great to have an extra parameter for the PlotBar() method, like "consecutive_X_vals". If this set to True, the plot would take the string representations of the X-values, and plot the Y-values side by side, with labels from the X-values.
In this way we avoid the extra required coding.
Thanks! :)
