Unfortunately, Graphite only plots numerical data over time. It has no  
capacity to draw icons or overlay a floorplan. It does not even plot  
locations in any way.

I can't even recommend an OSS project that would suit your needs.  I  
think you'll have to implement something from a general purpose  
graphics library, like Cairo.
