tf.compat.v1.summary.text

Summarizes textual data.

tf.compat.v1.summary.text(
    name, tensor, collections=None
)

Migrate to TF2

For compatibility purposes, when invoked in TF2 where the outermost context is eager mode, this API will check if there is a suitable TF2 summary writer context available, and if so will forward this call to that writer instead. A "suitable" writer context means that the writer is set as the default writer, and there is an associated non-empty value for step (see tf.summary.SummaryWriter.as_default, tf.summary.experimental.set_step or alternatively tf.compat.v1.train.create_global_step). For the forwarded call, the arguments here will be passed to the TF2 implementation of tf.summary.text, and the return value will be an empty bytestring tensor, to avoid duplicate summary writing. This forwarding is best-effort and not all arguments will be preserved.

To migrate to TF2, please use tf.summary.text instead. Please check Migrating tf.summary usage to TF 2.0 for concrete steps for migration.

How to Map Arguments

TF1 Arg Name TF2 Arg Name Note
name name -
tensor data -
- step Explicit int64-castable monotonic step value. If omitted, this defaults to tf.summary.experimental.get_step().
collections Not Supported -
- description Optional long-form str description for the summary. Markdown is supported. Defaults to empty.

Description

Text data summarized via this plugin will be visible in the Text Dashboard in TensorBoard. The standard TensorBoard Text Dashboard will render markdown in the strings, and will automatically organize 1d and 2d tensors into tables. If a tensor with more than 2 dimensions is provided, a 2d subarray will be displayed along with a warning message. (Note that this behavior is not intrinsic to the text summary api, but rather to the default TensorBoard text plugin.)

name A name for the generated node. Will also serve as a series name in TensorBoard.
tensor a string-type Tensor to summarize.
collections Optional list of ops.GraphKeys. The collections to add the summary to. Defaults to [_ops.GraphKeys.SUMMARIES]

A TensorSummary op that is configured so that TensorBoard will recognize that it contains textual data. The TensorSummary is a scalar Tensor of type string which contains Summary protobufs.

ValueError If tensor has the wrong type.
