Onion Circuits was developed primarily with Tails in mind,
and since Tails routes all Internet traffic through Tor,
the network bandwidth graph provided by GNOME System Monitor
was deemed sufficient.

Now, I guess we would not reject a a good UX/GUI design + branch that
adds bandwidth graphs.

I'm afraid the best doc we have for this is the source code:

        connect_args = dict()
        if 'TOR_CONTROL_SOCKET' in os.environ:
            connect_args['control_socket'] = os.environ.get('TOR_CONTROL_SOCKET')
        if 'TOR_CONTROL_ADDRESS' in os.environ or \
           'TOR_CONTROL_PORT' in os.environ:
            connect_args['control_port'] = (
                os.environ.get('TOR_CONTROL_ADDRESS', '127.0.0.1'),
                int(os.environ.get('TOR_CONTROL_PORT', 9051))
            )
        self.controller = stem.connection.connect(**connect_args)
