如何使用文本文件中的数据集在Java中绘制折线图？

Question

我编写了一个Java GUI程序，它打开一个文本文件并读取左侧面板中的数据。现在我想在右侧面板上显示从同一文件中读取的数据图表。

我使用JFileChooser打开文件并读取数据并将其显示在文本区域。我希望使用二维X-Y图显示从文件读取的数据。应使用数据文件中指定的标签信息标记图表的轴。 X轴上的值应从指定的x轴起始值开始，其间隔以x轴间隔值确定的速率递增。 Y轴上的值需要根据数据本身确定。绘制在图表上的每个点应使用单行连接。

我使用了几种方法，但都没有用。我已经尝试将文本文件中的每一行作为数组读取并使用数组作为数据集，但它也不能正常工作。请帮我从文本文件中的数据绘制图表。任何帮助，将不胜感激。谢谢。

P.S图表应仅使用AWT / Swing库绘制。

该文件的数据如下：

Title: Effect of Age on Ability
Xlabel: Age
Ylabel: Ability
start: 0
interval: 15
0, 3, 4.2, 7, 5.1, 10, 3.2

以下是我到目前为止编写的代码：
