Seaborn: Using the "hue" attribute makes plots with bars thin

[alexpetralia]

This is an issue related to #824 and this StackOverflow question.

To copy the example in the previous issue:

tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
sns.barplot(x="day", y="total_bill", hue="sex", data=tips, width=.3)

This works fine using the x and y attributes, but adding the hue attribute makes the bars thin. Is there a workaround?

Yes, this is by design #871

[alexpetralia]

@mwaskom Is there perhaps documentation I'm missing to use hue and not have thin bars? Or is the StackOverflow response the only relevant documentation?

[srinivas365]

tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
sns.barplot(x="day", y="total_bill", hue="sex", data=tips,dodge=False)

Add attribute dodge=False
Instead of creating different bar for single value. Adding dodge=False shows the data in single bar per variable.
