inconsistent bar gaps for linear scale

[gordonwoodhull]

There are some related issues, but I wanted to start one just for this.

The problem is that code is very tangled in this area, especially since we are using rangeBands for ordinal scales. I do not know if it can be fixed without changing the interface.

The pictures in that issue are dead, but I noticed earlier that seems to be a distinct gap in some of the bar charts I'm drawing. You can see an example of the gap here, originally reported in another issue #972. Is this the same issue or something else? That gap is kinda annoying and I don't remember remember seeing it earlier (although could be related to fiddling with xUnits value).

It is annoying. I don't think it is new. I think the gap stuff will probably just have to be ripped out. The rangebands, activated through barPadding, work a lot better if you are able to use an ordinal scale
