Replying to myself, I have been working on integration with ParaView and 
adding more features to the new charting functionality. The screen shot below 
shows the Qt chart (top) and the VTK OpenGL chart (bottom). There are still 
some rough edges, which I am working hard to sand down right now.

Most of this code (and tests) are checked into VTK in the new Charts 
directory. I will be making some changes to improve the API, but this will 
settle down in the near future once I have worked through some integration 
issues, tested performance and fixed any cross platform issues I hit.
