Maybe I don't understand the problem, but wouldn´t it be a lot easier to rely on existing visualisation packages instead of writing new code based on glib ?
Tools like those http://sal.kachinatech.com/D/1/index.shtml do all the boring things (axes/scaling, different plot types, colors etc) very well.
Ethereal could even call e.g. gnuplot (or Excel :-) ) supplying the data file and options (or maybe even scripts for the plotter). 
Already a configurable CSV export feature in Ethereal would help me a lot.

tschuess !
