    Draw a histogram as a stepped patch.

    Parameters
    ----------
    ax : Axes
        The axes to plot to

    edges : array
        A length n+1 array giving the left edges of each bin and the
        right edge of the last bin.

    values : array
        A length n array of bin counts or values

    bottoms : scalar or array, optional
        A length n array of the bottom of the bars.  If None, zero is used.

    orientation : {'v', 'h'}
       Orientation of the histogram.  'v' (default) has
       the bars increasing in the positive y-direction.

    Returns
    -------
    ret : PolyCollection
        Artist added to the Axes

    ax : axes.Axes

    stacked_data : array or Mapping
        A (N, M) shaped array.  The first dimension will be iterated over to
        compute histograms row-wise

    sty_cycle : Cycler or operable of dict
        Style to apply to each set

    bottoms : array, optional

    hist_func : callable, optional
        Must have signature `bin_vals, bin_edges = f(data)`.
        `bin_edges` expected to be one longer than `bin_vals`

    labels : list of str, optional
        The label for each set.

        If stacked_data is a mapping, and labels is None, default to the keys
