Definitely, graph types have their optional parameters filled in in
their respective initialization functions.  Currently, those functions
use hardcoded values to set the parameters but it would be entirely
possible for them to read the values from somewhere.

Just from where?  Should a separate config file for TCP graphing be
created and read?  Or should the TCP graphing options be stored
somewhere where other options are stored and retrieved from Ethereal
core during graph boot by some function calls?
