My advice would be to use the current KDE Plasma ported components [1] in QML. You can find the documentation of each of those bindings in the C++ docs [2] note that you also need to look at the header files to figure out which values are usable in QML (Q_PROPERTY and Q_INVOKABLE) If you need a canvas, make a QML wrapper around the Plasma::SignalPlotter component that implements the same functions as [3]. It's a bit of a hassle and not optimal, but it will make your code ready to port to Qt5 thus makes your life a lot easier + doing that also - likely - allows your plasmoid to be accepted in KDE. (no guarantees!)
