Description

Hey,

I am interested in creating a plugin to processes several runs and visualize some metrics as a margin plot. I would like the user interface to be consistent with the rest of Tensorboard. After taking a look at the custom scalars plugin, I believe that the existing plotting frontend in Tensorboard would be suited for this job.

What is the recommended practice to reuse Tensorboard's frontend code? Should I build Tensorboard from source with my plugin? I was not able to find an answer to this question on the internet. This might be a basic question, but unfortunately, I am not completely familiar with front-end development.

I think it would be immensely helpful for plugin developers, if a minimal plotting example (or some guidelines for creating plots) could be provided, as this task is central to most plugins. I would be grateful for some pointers!

Best,
Markus
