plotting.bar should not manually set a tick offset

[tacaswell]

The align kwarg of Axes.bar{h} will take care of all of that logic for you. Making it so that the tick labels do not match the data coordinates cause problems when trying to plot overlays (see http://stackoverflow.com/q/23909249/380231).

@tacaswell But it seems the code is already using align='center'? (https://github.com/pydata/pandas/blob/master/pandas/tools/plotting.py#L1789) (did not yet look more in detail)

This is fixed in 0.14 (#6691).

closing as fixed

I can confirm this indeed works in master, so plotting a line (as done in the SO question) will be automatically in the middle of the bars.

Sorry for the noise, the checkout I have on my computer is apparently out of date.
