Hmm, i will just answer myself since i found the solution. It's my
guess that i have to create a new component for this. Using QPainter
would be the easiest way, but using the QSG* classes is probably the
right way. I found a nice tutorial here:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtquick/scenegraph-customgeometry.html
(which is btw heavily broken.. luckily the example files do still
work). So i'm going down that route and see how that turns out.

Btw, there is also this library: https://gitorious.org/qmlplot/qmlplot
but it's not for Qt5/QtQuick 2.
This is for Qt5 and SceneGraph but fails to compile:
https://github.com/delaitre/plotcomponents

I'm trying to get the sources from that last link to work.
