Description

Recent research shows that log-log scaled plotting would help to visualize conversion trends.
http://research.baidu.com/deep-learning-scaling-predictable-empirically/

As Tensorboard provides log-scale option for Y-axis, what's missing is log-scale option for X-axis.
Of course this would be useful when an issue #938 about the log-scaling is fixed.

The option could be easily iconized as rotating the icon for Y-axis by 90 degree.

Research direction

Start by reviewing TensorBoard’s existing Y-axis log-scale option and the related issue #938, then trace where the plotting controls and axis scaling are handled. Done means adding an X-axis log-scale option, with an icon or control consistent with the Y-axis option, so log-log conversion-trend plots can be viewed once the related scaling issue is fixed.
