Description
I currently have a custom scalar graph for showing motion entropy and reward per episode.
So I needed a graph per episode and is accomplished via add_scalar. I am bothered by not being able to filter the episodes because as you can see below, there are a lot of episodes and thus a lot of graphs:

Maybe I just need to understand tensorboard better, but I would like to enable to regex filter like in the other pages:

Is there a simple way to add the regex filter for the custom scalars plugin? Or has this been removed? (#300 originally shows being able to do this)
