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)

Research direction

Start at the Custom Scalar plugin entry point and compare its controls with the regex filtering used on other TensorBoard pages. Confirm the desired matching behavior from the issue examples, then verify that episode graphs can be filtered without changing existing scalar rendering.
