Problems with spacing between series on bar charts

[xarico10]

When plotting multiple series, the spacing between them isn't the same as MATLAB's and becomes harder to read and understand the graph.

x = [1980 1990 2000];
y = [40 50 63 52; 42 55 50 48; 30 20 44 40];
barh(x,y)
xlabel('Snowfall')
ylabel('Year')
legend({'Springfield','Fairview','Bristol','Jamesville'})

fig2plotly(gcf, 'offline', false);

Expected and generated (https://chart-studio.plotly.com/~xarico10/565/#/) plots:

As seen, the spacing between the values corresponding to 2000, 1990 and 1980 are more separated in MATLAB's plot, but not in the generated plot. It should be a bigger gap space between years.

By changing the following defaults, it works perfectly fine with me.

Code that I have used
x = [1980 1990 2000];
y = [40 50 63 52; 42 55 50 48; 30 20 44 40];
barh(x,y)
xlabel('Snowfall')
ylabel('Year')
legend({'Springfield','Fairview','Bristol','Jamesville'})

fig2plotly();

Output

Hi @xarico10 and @uzairmughal110
I believe if we do something like this it might be better and not affect other bar types... So inside updateBar.m

if strcmp(obj.layout.barmode,'group')
    obj.layout.bargap = 0.3;
else
    obj.layout.bargap = obj.PlotlyDefaults.Bargap;
end

And yes for me a value of 0.3 looks good. Anyway, bargap can't be more than 1.

I have already a PR in place that resolves this issue along with the BaseValue issue, so I will go ahead and close this issue.
