Is there any way I can hack, modify, or can you tell me where to start to 
get a different graph style?

I find that that I'm looking for is similar to the stream graph,
http://code.shutterstock.com/rickshaw/examples/extensions.html
which is based on an area-type graph, but representing values with the 
thickness of the lines rather than the area.
It could be rendered with the same engine, though, since it draws lines, 
smooth them, and centers the whole stream.

I could just render it with absolutely positioned css circles (divs with 
corner-radius) plotted in enough rows to simulate a continuous line, but I 
think the final work could be shared with the world with a standard like 
the Google Graph API.

I attached a sample of my idea.
The first example shows the variable width lines stacked one on top of the 
other, but centered at the same time…
The second example smoothes out the spine of the lines, to prevent violent 
changes and zig-zags.

I could come up with the functions to render the positions of the lines 
(the spines and the areas making up the lines) myself, but the drawing is 
something too new for me.

If some javascript / svg / canvas warrior wants to collaborate to get it 
done, me and the rest of the community will appreciate it.
If no one does, I'd appreciate any tip that lights me the path.

Thanks.
