Description

Hi!

It would be great to have a way to toggle log scale on the x-axis. See https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/6532
This would allow to check convergence rates (gradient norm vs steps / loss value vs steps when the loss is going to 0), and in my experience is great for debugging.

This feature is available on wandb, it would be great to also have it on tensorboard!

Research direction

Start in TensorBoard's charting and x-axis controls, which are the only implementation areas implied by the request. Check how existing axis-scale options are represented and test the behavior against convergence plots; done means users can toggle a logarithmic x-axis scale in TensorBoard.
