Description
Hello,
I created a patch for Plotly which impvoes display of axis tick labels for logarithmic axes of scatter plots.
More preciesly, it avoids overlapping labels much better (IMHO) than before.
The issue and the patch is described in more detail here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70926979/skip-overlapping-tick-labels-in-plotly-javascript/70953790#70953790
Do you think this has a chance to be merged? Then I'll create a PR for the master branch.
If this needs more work, please advise.
Thank you!

Research direction
Use the linked Stack Overflow discussion as the behavioral reference, then trace Plotly.js's existing tick-label handling for logarithmic axes in scatter plots. The work is done when labels avoid overlapping more effectively without regressing other axis displays; the issue does not name a specific file or test to run.
