The createChart method is the most import part in this class. In this method, the pairs value is being set fist, then a get*Chart method of the ChartGenerator_JTable class is called to generate the chart figure. The init[][] pairs presents the coulmn info about the JTable and is used by the ChartGenerator_JTable to create the chart.

See List of Charts for more examples, the createChart method's source code for each example is listed.
