I’m trying to render Histograms at runtime where the bins’ information like upper and lower bounds and width are known. However when I set the DataPointWidth to 0.2 for example, the bin spacing is different. Here is my code and XAML:

        // We can create a histogram with evenly spaced bins 
        // by specifying the lower bound, the upper bound, 
        // and the number of bins:
        var histogram = Histogram.CreateEmpty(values.Min(), values.Max(), numberOfBins);
        double width = (values.Max() - values.Min()) / numberOfBins;
        histogram.Tabulate(values);

        foreach (var bin in histogram.BinsAndValues)
        {
            XyDataSeries<double, double> dataSeries = new XyDataSeries<double, double>();
            dataSeries.Append(bin.Key.LowerBound, bin.Value);
            pointList.Add(new ColumnRenderableSeriesViewModel() { DataSeries = dataSeries, StrokeThickness = 2, Stroke = Colors.Gray, Fill = Brushes.CornflowerBlue, DataPointWidth = 0.2 });
        }

        ChartData = new ObservableCollection<IRenderableSeriesViewModel>(pointList);

        </s:SciChartSurface.YAxis>
    </s:SciChartSurface>
</Grid>

How can I make the bin spacing the same independent of bin width? See my attachment of two different histograms with the DataPointWidth for each.
