Yes, it is. Quoting the Wikipedia article you refer to:

"One common type of equalizer is the graphic equalizer which consists of a bank of sliders for boosting and cutting different bands"

That's exactly what you get with the iTunes equalizer. There are only ten bands, but it's still a graphic EQ.

If you're looking for something with more bands than the EQ built into iTunes, that's a different question. One possibility would Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack which can be used with industry-standard AudioUnit and VST plugins, of which there are at least a couple of EQ options.

I am not too sure, but I think what your looking for is some sort of visualizer/EQ combo...? something you can not only manipulate the EQ, but actually graphically watch what is happening while you do it?

If that is the case, I haven't searched for any, but you might be able to find a visualization plugin that isn't all 3D and fancy like the Apple one, and just use that in conjunction with the iTunes EQ

That's a very different sort of application, completely different from an equalizer. Thanks for clarifying.

iTunes shows a rudimentary spectrum if you click the small arrow at the left of the title display at the top of the iTunes window. If you need something more, try searching MacUpdate for "spectrum analyzer". You'll find some other options, though not all are free. Some will be VST or Audio Unit plugins which would require a host such as Audio Hijack.
