Parallel coordinates plot

For iterative/dvc#6933

FYI, we discussed in refinement today that it's probably better to make this a separate subcommand, like dvc exp plots, dvc exp report, or similar. It gives flexibility to add more to the HTML and change the options, and it promotes it more than another option in dvc exp show.

Although TBH I don't feel too strongly either way. If I'm already looking at the table and decide it would be easier to view it as a PCP, does it make sense to have to use a different command?

Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to read the example images because they are so small. Not sure if there's anything we can do about it 🤔 .

@dberenbaum Do you refer to this GIF?

For the other images, I am able to click and open a full page view (where I am able to read all letters)

[dberenbaum]

Yeah, I can open them, but they look small when embedded within the page.

Hacked the plotly layout a bit to increase height and font size (also updated plots to use same examples as the above tables, from example-get-started). Please TAL to latest deployment

Line width, unfortunately, is a need sponsor feature plotly/plotly.js#2573 😅

[dberenbaum]

Font size was the real concern. Looks better now, thanks!

Do you refer to this GIF?

I do think the GIF could use a smaller example. Maybe just 2 params and a single metric (example). I'd also reduce the number of experiments (7 max) if possible so this sample is short.

The ones in the longer example seem fine to me since you can click on them for closer examination (Still preferably a few less experiments would be ideal IMO, but up to you).

[daavoo]

I am not sure about reducing the number of experiments.

I think that the main usage is when you have many experiments and the plot helps to perceive some patterns more easily than the table.

[daavoo]

Agree on reducing to 2 params 1 metric

[daavoo]

I will wait for iterative/dvc#7141 in order to update the plot (to perhaps remove the Experiment column). Leaving the current GIF for now, it that's ok

This is in pretty good shape @daavoo, but I left some specific suggestion that I think would be ideal (6 unresolved comments as of now, starting at #3105 (review)). Not trying to block merge but if we have some time please address those. There's also (from the description):

Thanks!

[iesahin]

LGTM. Thank you @daavoo

I think I addressed all comments. About the item in description, I think we will have to wait until it gets merged on core and then update

[shcheklein]

@jorgeorpinel any updates? can we merge this?

[jorgeorpinel]

I think we should link to /doc/user-guide/experiment-management/comparing-experiments#parallel-coordinates-plot instead in:

@jorgeorpinel any updates? can we merge this?

Sure, it's not my intention to bock this. It's def. mergeable (and already approved).

Thanks again for addressing all the feedback @daavoo
