There is no concrete plan to add more features to KPlotting, because 
for advanced users there are already other Qt based libraries for 
plotting (QwtPlot, QCustomPlot, QtCharts, KDChart, ...).

That does not mean I will reject any additions, but I would like to 
keep it simple.

First, please clarify why the other alternatives are inadequate. Then 
propose a plan, or a patch :)
