Good Morning Owen:

The GC percent in 5 base window graph is not a gff type of track.
It is a wiggle type of track.  You can create wiggle type custom
tracks by following the information about wiggle tracks at:
	http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/wiggle.html
Note, the variableStep and fixedStep formats for this data are much
more efficient than the bed-like format.  So use those formats if
you can.

I'm curious, what exactly were you working with that gave you the
idea of gff format for this data ?
