tensorboardX¶
A module for visualization with tensorboard
-
class
tensorboardX.
SummaryWriter
(logdir=None, comment='', purge_step=None, max_queue=10, flush_secs=120, filename_suffix='', write_to_disk=True, log_dir=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ Writes entries directly to event files in the logdir to be consumed by TensorBoard.
The SummaryWriter class provides a high-level API to create an event file in a given directory and add summaries and events to it. The class updates the file contents asynchronously. This allows a training program to call methods to add data to the file directly from the training loop, without slowing down training.
-
__init__
(logdir=None, comment='', purge_step=None, max_queue=10, flush_secs=120, filename_suffix='', write_to_disk=True, log_dir=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ Creates a SummaryWriter that will write out events and summaries to the event file.
Parameters: - logdir (string) – Save directory location. Default is runs/CURRENT_DATETIME_HOSTNAME, which changes after each run. Use hierarchical folder structure to compare between runs easily. e.g. pass in ‘runs/exp1’, ‘runs/exp2’, etc. for each new experiment to compare across them.
- comment (string) – Comment logdir suffix appended to the default
logdir
. Iflogdir
is assigned, this argument has no effect. - purge_step (int) – When logging crashes at step \(T+X\) and restarts at step \(T\),
any events whose global_step larger or equal to \(T\) will be
purged and hidden from TensorBoard.
Note that crashed and resumed experiments should have the same
logdir
. - max_queue (int) – Size of the queue for pending events and summaries before one of the ‘add’ calls forces a flush to disk. Default is ten items.
- flush_secs (int) – How often, in seconds, to flush the pending events and summaries to disk. Default is every two minutes.
- filename_suffix (string) – Suffix added to all event filenames in the logdir directory. More details on filename construction in tensorboard.summary.writer.event_file_writer.EventFileWriter.
- write_to_disk (boolean) – If pass False, SummaryWriter will not write to disk.
Examples:
from tensorboardX import SummaryWriter # create a summary writer with automatically generated folder name. writer = SummaryWriter() # folder location: runs/May04_22-14-54_s-MacBook-Pro.local/ # create a summary writer using the specified folder name. writer = SummaryWriter("my_experiment") # folder location: my_experiment # create a summary writer with comment appended. writer = SummaryWriter(comment="LR_0.1_BATCH_16") # folder location: runs/May04_22-14-54_s-MacBook-Pro.localLR_0.1_BATCH_16/
-
add_audio
(tag, snd_tensor, global_step=None, sample_rate=44100, walltime=None)[source]¶ Add audio data to summary.
Parameters: - tag (string) – Data identifier
- snd_tensor (torch.Tensor) – Sound data
- global_step (int) – Global step value to record
- sample_rate (int) – sample rate in Hz
- walltime (float) – Optional override default walltime (time.time()) of event
- Shape:

-
add_custom_scalars
(layout)[source]¶ Create special chart by collecting charts tags in ‘scalars’. Note that this function can only be called once for each SummaryWriter() object. Because it only provides metadata to tensorboard, the function can be called before or after the training loop. See
examples/demo_custom_scalars.py
for more.Parameters: layout (dict) – {categoryName: charts}, where charts is also a dictionary {chartName: ListOfProperties}. The first element in ListOfProperties is the chart’s type (one of Multiline or Margin) and the second element should be a list containing the tags you have used in add_scalar function, which will be collected into the new chart. Examples:
layout = {'Taiwan':{'twse':['Multiline',['twse/0050', 'twse/2330']]}, 'USA':{ 'dow':['Margin', ['dow/aaa', 'dow/bbb', 'dow/ccc']], 'nasdaq':['Margin', ['nasdaq/aaa', 'nasdaq/bbb', 'nasdaq/ccc']]}} writer.add_custom_scalars(layout)
-
add_custom_scalars_marginchart
(tags, category='default', title='untitled')[source]¶ Shorthand for creating marginchart. Similar to
add_custom_scalars()
, but the only necessary argument is tags, which should have exactly 3 elements.Parameters: tags (list) – list of tags that have been used in add_scalar()
