Bar_Plot is just a program written without much regard for
aesthetics. :-)

Find this line in the code, on or about line 226:

barsize=barwidth*winrange/nbars ;Normal. bar width

And change it to this:

barsize=barwidth*winrange/(nbars+1) ;Normal. bar width

That should look better. :-)

Cheers,

David
