Description

Dear fellow developers and plot.ly users,

I would like to request a new feature: "symmetrical log" scale. Matplotlib has it:

http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/symlog_demo.html

Also see: What is the difference between 'log' and 'symlog'? link

It would be great if plot.ly can adopt this scale. Thanks!
