#531 set boxwidth has no effect for bins data

[Shigeharu TAKENO]

"set boxwidth" may not have no effect for bins data. For example,

set boxwidth 0.5 relative
plot "data" using 1 bins binrange [5:95] binwidth=10 w boxes

These boxes close to each other against the setting of boxwidth.
For bins data, the width of boxes may be decided by binwidth istead of boxwidth.
I think it may be useful to change the box width by "set boxwidth".

I am experiencing this problem too with 5.4 patchlevel 8.

Simply:

set boxwidth 0.5
plot "data.txt" using 1 bins=10 with boxes

All boxes are adjacent

I've tried 0.5 relative and 0.5 absolute without change
