For hist() with uneven bins, histtype=bar and stepfilled interpret align=left/right differently #12494
Description
Bug report
Bug summary
I'm not really sure what align=left/right is even supposed to mean for uneven bins, but at least histype=bar/stepfilled should interpret them in the same manner (or both should error out).
Code for reproduction
from pylab import *
np.random.seed(0)
t = np.random.rand(100)
fig, axs = plt.subplots(3, 2, sharex=True, sharey=True)
for i, align in enumerate(["left", "mid", "right"]):
for j, ht in enumerate(["bar", "stepfilled"]):
axs[i, j].hist(t, [0, 1/4, 1], histtype=ht, align=align)
axs[i, j].set(xlabel=f"histtype={ht!r}", ylabel=f"align={align!r}")
axs[i, j].label_outer()
plt.show()Actual outcome
Expected outcome
Either consistent plots with both histtypes, or an error indicating that align=left/right is incompatible with uneven bins.
