Proposing Quick Charts as a new framework

[Arjen Hiemstra]

Hi,

I have been working on a library the past few months that provides a 
QtQuick
module for rendering gpu-accelerated charts. It currently lives in a 
playground
repository, here: https://invent.kde.org/kde/kf5quickcharts . I would 
like for
this library to be included as a Tier 1 Framework.

Current features are that it supports rendering of three different chart 
types:
pie, line and bar, which can be fed from multiple types of data sources. 
There
is also support for axis labels, an axis grid and a legend. 
Additionally, there
is a submodule that contains some convenience items.

The pie and line charts are rendered using a technique called signed 
distance
fields, which allows efficient GPU-accelerated rendering of 2D shapes 
without
loss of quality.

I would like to hear what people think about it and if this is something 
others
would also like to have included in Frameworks.
