Hello Samuel,
Your widget looks nice and the transparency effect looks good.
I must have to warn you though that writing a dependable graph plotter is not 
as simple at it may appear. There are a number of subtle heuristics to be 
taken into account for scaling and decimation of input data, for example.
Depending on your needs, embedding matplotlib may make more sense 
than "rolling your own".
It's just my opinion, I don't mean to discourage you.
Regards,
Alfonso
