Description
The underlying plotly.js parcoords doesn't support log projection (scales, axes) at the moment, though as you mention it comes up sometimes and we plan with this functionality. In the meantime, an option is to take the logarithm of the data ahead of time, with the big drawback that axis ticks will show log values, which needs explanation and adds to cognitive burden.

Determine how axis scales and ticks are currently handled, then define what log projection and axis types should support before adding coverage for the resulting axis display.
