Configure axes to automatically share the same data-defined axis length

[constd]

🚀 Feature

Thanks for releasing v4! It looks great so far. I was wondering if it would be possible to configure the axes in the Metrics Explorer to automatically use the same X-axis value range across all plots. For example, in the default configuration of the Metrics Explorer, where rows are grouped by run.hash, it would be great if all runs (aka plots in every row and column) were sharing the same X axis range automatically.

The idea would be to check the x-axis range of all the plot and use the max range (or just the max positive value?).

Motivation

When comparing runs with slightly different configurations from the same experiment, comparing them to the same x axis becomes important.

Pitch

It becomes much easier to compare N runs when the axes of all the plots are the same. Right now, if we create one row of plots per run, all the plots' x-axis is defined by the max amount of data (steps, epochs, etc) we've logged for each particular plot/run. Allowing for all loaded plots to share the same axis lengths makes comparing runs pretty intuitive and quick.

Alternatives

The (already possible) alternative would be to configure the x axis manually.

@constd thanks for the suggestion. At the moment it is only possible to configure axes range only manually. You can set axes range in the axes configuration popover.

Hey, thank you for answering @gorarakelyan, this is exactly what gave me the idea. If training is running, one would have to keep adjusting the axes all the time :)
