I've definitely seen an app do this recently; it was only one graph at a time,
but I'm sure it shouldn't be a problem to be able to nest them. IIRC it was a
demo app that came with the source. Just to check: you basically want
'real-time' plotting, with the graphic continually updating, sort-of like on an
oscilloscope?

But I can't remember if that demo app was based on guppi, or whether it was from
scigraphica/gtkextra. So my advice would probably be to look at either of those
two, since I'm fairly sure that its possible with one of them! Scigraphica is
not on the 'other plotting programs' link on the guppi homepage, but can be
found at scigraphica.sf.net
