have drawn a horizontal n vertical grids...so my requirement is when i press a button on my interface ...a line graph shud be drawn on the panel....The graph shud be dynamic graph... ...plz help,,,also how can i use drawLine method for float values to drwa a graph....

            }

          }

It's much easier to use a GeneralPath for drawing arbitrary shapes such as a graph. It is basically just a series of connected points. Here is the tutorial link for it: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/geometry/index.html

It accomplishes the same thing as many drawLine() calls between all of the points.
