Sounds like a great fit.

Here is is the help page linking to examples:
- 
http://udig.refractions.net/help/topic/net.refractions.udig.doc/html/Plugin%20Examples.html

Please note that the mapgraphic example in there is used for training, 
and is not fancy (it stores points in screen coordinates rather then 
world coordinates etc...). I assume you know that we do offer a training 
course on uDig, for details see the support page.
