I am not a Troll and this is not an official Qt development sadly. I am aiming 
to support this commercially as well as FOSS versions when I eventually reach 
a suitable point to release.

I have had to do this too, so I thought that this time I would try to do it 
properly and make something that may be of use to other people too.

Yes I am looking forwards to doing the QML aspects but I need to take another 
look at the QSceneGraph project before I do too much more. I think it would be 
a very nice feature to be able to easily get charts into QML applications 
though. It would make it so easy to make native dashboard-like applications 
with the backend in Qt/C++ and the frontend in QML using this charting 
component.

All the best,

Sean
