I was able to get a common x-axis for all plots, but the bar width remains inconsistent with very thick plots on some histograms, and very thin ones on others. What is the secret here? I need to get equal-width, non-overlapping bars on all the plots. I'm surprised that these issues have not come up before. For publication in scientific journals, most editors would want consistent scales for any series of plots.
