Description

It would be nice if we could have a way to specify a specific range of steps/wall time to look at.
Often you are only interested in the last few steps.
Even more often the very first few (hundred to thousand) steps are not very interesting and/or have a very different value ranges than everything beyond that, which makes the automatic zooming much less useful.
(see e.g, the graph in nikonikolov's comment on issue #405.

Research direction

Start with the behavior described here and compare the graph referenced in issue #405. Identify how step and wall-time ranges are selected across the plots, then define a consistent range control for excluding early data or focusing on later steps; done means the requested limited range works for all plots.
