Or help us out! The backend is pretty much just two source files:

     http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/tip/src/graphics.cc
     
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/tip/src/DLD-FUNCTIONS/fltk_backend.cc

It's almost all self-contained within those two files. I've found that
just understanding the graphics code by itself has been pretty easy,
because I don't have to trace through most of the Octave source tree
in order to figure out what's going on.

There's also a few m-scripts to read, but you should have an even
easier time with those.
