I haven't got anything suitable for this, but see below...

The calculations & values used atm are not quite correct. I've started to look 
into this, but it's not finished yet, so, I think you will have to work with 
test values to start with.
Unfortunatly, I don't think I will be able to work much on kplato during May. 
I have a few hours today, but the rest of the week is booked on other things.

I haven't used flake at all in kplato (yet) hence my knowledge is limited so 
take my opinions with a a grain (or two) of salt. Also, because of this there 
is *no* infrastructure in kplato to handle shapes. I don't know what is 
needed, though, so maybe that is not a big issue.
AFAIK KoShape can be used as a wrapper around a widget. (Which could be a 
chart.) AFAICS you'll need to implement the basic stuff like data access and 
painting wether it's a shape or not. What you get from the shape is things 
like scaling and rotation, _and_ the chart will be available for use in other 
KOffice apps.

Any koffice developer that can correct/expand on this?

I've seen it too. I think it's a default value that should be changed 
somewhere.
