I think, the GTK+ widget that you are referring to is
GtkPlot from the GTK+Extra set
http://gtkextra.sourceforge.net/
To my knowledge, there is no Haskell binding for it yet.
However, it is possible to extend the existing GTK+ binding
for Haskell <http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/gtk/>
with extra widgets (there already exist some such extension
in the ext/ directory of the package). I am generally happy
to include such extensions into the main distribution and to
provide help with coding them.
Cheers,
Manuel
