Comment # 3 on bug 9820 from
On the more general topic of additional graphs:

I think instead of hard-coding yet another graph, it would be better if we
allowed people to define their own graph inputs and calcs - similar to how the
IO graph lets one define different input calculations.  But the IO one appears
to be specific to IO-type graphing, because the X-axis is fixed to be
time-based, and the Y-axis is basically just a count of user-defined values,
afaik.

It's no surprise I'm going to say this: we could do this using Lua, where we
either (a) hard-code another graph dialog but allow Lua to provide a bunch of
its stuff, or (b) expose the drawing/widget objects of Qt to Lua altogether. 
Option (b) has been done in other Qt-based projects, and is far more flexible
of course. I'd been planning on trying to do (b) for a while now anyway, but I
can't get Wireshark+Qt to successfully compile on Mac Mavericks due to bug
9641.
