graph of book sales on Amazon

I need to make a graph in Java that will output data about book sales on Amazon. Help, please!?
I have found the following base program from Ian Darwin (http://www.darwinsys.com/ ):

package org.me.mylib;

public class Grapher extends JPanel {

public Grapher() {
data = new ArrayList<Point2D>();
figure();
}

/** Set the list data from a list of Strings, where the
* x coordinate is incremented automatically, and the y coordinate

public void setListDataFromYStrings(List<String> newData) {
data.clear();
for (int i=0; i < newData.size(); i++) {
Point2D p = new Point2D.Double();
p.setLocation(i, java.lang.Double.parseDouble(newData.get…
data.add(p);
}
figure();
}

/** Set the list from an existing List, as from GraphReader.read() */
public void setListData(List<Point2D> newData) {
data = newData;
figure();
}

private void figure() {
// find min & max
for (int i=0 ; i < data.size(); i++) {
Point2D d = (Point2D)data.get(i);

if (d.getX() > maxx) maxx = d.getX();

}

// Compute ranges

//Debug.println("range", "minx,x,r = " + minx +' '+ maxx +' '+ xrange);
//Debug.println("range", "miny,y,r = " + miny +' '+ maxy +' '+ yrange);
}

/** Called when the window needs painting.
* Computes X and Y range, scales.
*/
@Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Dimension s = getSize();
if (data.size() < 2) {
g.drawString("Insufficient data: " + data.size(), 10, 40);
return;
}

// Compute scale factors
double xfact = s.width / xrange;
double yfact = s.height / yrange;

// Scale and plot the data
for (int i=0 ; i < data.size(); i++) {
Point2D d = (Point2D)data.get(i);
double x = (d.getX() - minx) * xfact;
double y = (d.getY() - miny) * yfact;
Debug.println("point", "AT " + i + " " + d + "; " +
"x = " + x + "; y = " + y);
// Draw a 5-pixel rectangle centered, so -2 both x and y.
// AWT numbers Y from 0 down, so invert:
g.drawRect(((int)x)-2, s.height-2-(int)y, 5, 5);
}
}

I need to add more detail to get it to show lines and there are some mistakes because of my changes in the program. Can anybody help me?

Would anybody like some fudge? I made it an hour ago. And it goes well with a tiny ad ...
