Yes, that's a good start. Basically, all you have to do is

s/example/yourprogram/g *.cc *.h
s/Example/YourProgram/g *.cc *.h
s/EXAMPLE/YOURPROGRAM/g *.cc *.h

in a copy of that directory and then add your drawing code to

YourProgramPart::drawContents()

and initialization code for your documents to

YourProgramPart::initDoc()

If you want, you can also handle all the painting translations yourself
by implementing your own paintEvent() in YourProgramView.
