Meaning of Histogram on Tensorboard

Question

I am working on Google Tensorboard, and I\'m feeling confused about the meaning of Histogram Plot. I read the tutorial, but it seems unclear to me. I really appreciate if anyone

Answer 1

Roufan,

The histogram plot allows you to plot variables from your graph.

w1 = tf.Variable(tf.zeros([1]),name="a",trainable=True)
    tf.histogram_summary("firstLayerWeight",w1)

For the example above the vertical axis would have the units of my w1 variable. The horizontal axis would have units of the step which I think is captured here:

summary_str = sess.run(summary_op, feed_dict=feed_dict)
    summary_writer.add_summary(summary_str, **step**)

It may be useful to see this on how to make summaries for the tensorboard.
