Value error in histplot with binwidth smaller than half the data range about seaborn HOT 2 OPEN

Should probably just reject unless 0 < binwidth <= binrange. Not sure any other parametrization makes sense.

By the way, binwidth is ignored when discrete=True.

Yeah, the parameter is documented as

If True, default to binwidth=1 ...

Maybe "default to" implies that you can override it and should be "set binwidth=1

When the data isn't known in advance, in some situations only 0 or 1 data points will pop up. Without setting binwidth, now an empty plot is returned for 0 data points, and a symmetric bin of 1 wide for only one data point. With binwidth set, the code could behave similarly, using that binwidth. A plot showing something a bit reasonable could be friendlier than an error message.

Well, my comment was a suggestion to also allow other integer binwidths for discrete data, shifting the edges by a half. (But maybe this would complicate things too much. Next, people will be asking for discrete units measured fractions, e.g. 1/10ths.)
