Option to set the BaseValue of a bar plot #277

Normally, a bar plot consists of a rectangle draw between the base value (now fixed at 0) and the x/y coordinate of the data point. In some applications, it makes more sense to have a different base value (not 0) as in the figure below:

Example bar plot with non-zero basevalue

Work-arounds exists, e.g. at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/130362/histogram-plot-with-different-base-value-using-pgfplots but IMHO this is quite messy and would a lot cleaner if implemented in pgfplots (and shouldn't be hard, I think, but I'm not a TeX programmer).

See also: https://github.com/matlab2tikz/matlab2tikz/issues/438 which has some example plots to show what is meant by "BaseValue".

Thanks for the feature request! I have noted it in my todo list.

I suppose I will do it as part of a "bar plot v2" feature for one of the next releases.

The functionality as such is not too difficult, especially since pgfplots uses something like that internally anyway.

Just moved the other stuff related to this feature request from the PGFPlotsToDo here.

Is it possible to have bar plots which do not start from the x or y axis?. For example a bar plot from (0,2) to (0,3).
