Dox are at http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-
apidocs/plasma/html/classPlasma_1_1SignalPlotter.html.

Source is at 
http://websvn.kde.org:80/*checkout*/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/plasma/widgets/signalplotter.h 
and 
http://websvn.kde.org:80/*checkout*/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/plasma/widgets/signalplotter.cpp

api.kde.org and techbase.kde.org should in theory provide you with all the 
info you need, but websvn.kde.org is good when those don't have what you need.

If you're willing to update the signalplotter docs with whatever info you feel 
would be useful, that would be really helpful.  You can just attach the 
relevant text to an email and I'll update the api docs.
