Description
Hi all,
I just noticed that when I set my X axis to logarithmic in plotly.express, the marginal graphs associated with that axis do not update. Here is a sample code:
fig=px.scatter(data,x='area',y='ratio',color="continent",trendline="ols",marginal_y="box",marginal_x="box")fig.update_layout(xaxis_type="log")

Research direction
Start by running the provided plotly.express scatter example and compare the marginal graphs before and after setting xaxis_type="log". Trace the plotly.express path that builds marginal_x and marginal_y, then verify that the marginal graphs reflect the logarithmic axis while preserving their expected distributions.
