The createChart method is the center part of the class. In this method, the pairs value is being set first, then a get*Chart method of the ChartGenerator_JTable class is called to generate the chart figure. The init[][] pairs provides the coulmn info about the JTable and is used by the ChartGenerator_JTable to generate dataset for creating the chart.

See List of Charts for more examples. The createChart method's source code for each example is listed for your reference.
