Hi David,
I don't want to start a naming bikeshed so if it is already too late
to consider renaming, just dismiss these comments:
No, that's still okay. Nothing is set in stone yet.
The first thing I thought of when I read the name of the plugin is
that it did graph rendering, like OGDF QML[0], and I was in desperate
need for such a library a couple of months ago. I think graph is
confusing for a couple of reasons:
* There is already a concept of graphs associated to QML, as in QML
Graph Scene (which is apparently the most common result I get from
searching "QML Graph")
Never thought about that.
* In KDE, Rocs deals with Graphs and KmPlot deals with these kinds of
graphs. * There is a Qt Charts[1] thing that does something similar.
So I would consider renaming this to something with plot/chart.
I like charts better and would consider renaming it to kqmlchartsplugin. The
QML import would be 'org.kde.charts' then.
Are there any more opinions on the naming issue?
+1 for the use of chart instead of graph (for ambiguity with Graph
Theory [1]) and instead of plot, since I think the word plot is used
when a math expression is involved (function, inequality, etc.) and
kqmlgraphplugin is more suitable when one needs to render results from
statistical/financial analysis.
