I am running into problems where histograms are not autoscaling correctly.
I have filed a bug report on github:

I am running into problems where histograms are not autoscaling correctly.
Below is a very simple example which reproduces this problem:
import pylab as P
P.hist([3000,3010, 3012], histtype='step')
P.savefig('test.pdf')
When I run this example using matplotlib v1.1.0 or using the absolute
latest version of matplotlib, I obtain an axes which varies from
3000<x<3012 and 0<y<3000 with no visible histogram.
When I add (before saving the plot) the line:
P.gca().set_ylim(ymax=2.1)
I get a reasonable axes range and can see the histogram.
I also get a reasonable axes range when I remove the command
histtype='step' or when I use matplotlib v1.0.0.
Thanks for your help,
Joshua
