Additional remarks:
The Graph himself extends a Figure Canvas.
public class Graph extends FigureCanvas implements IContainer { ... }
I tried to extend my GraphEditor from a composite to add it directly as one element of the parent Composite of the part.
public class GraphEditor extends Composite {
Graph graph = null;
public GraphEditor(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, style);
// Graph will hold all other objects
graph = new Graph(parent, SWT.NONE);
...
and how its called:
Composite graphEditor = new GraphEditor(parent, 1);
graphEditor.setLayoutData(fd_compositeEditorArea);
Neither a graph is displayed nor any exception or error message appears 
Maybe my idea is totally wrong or I'm missing just some things.
Any ideas out there?
Kind regards,
Johannes
