Java Help

I am trying to learn the Java language and in doing so I am trying to design a "Truck Drivers Log Book."
I have a comprehensive book on Java but it says nothing about charting.
I am trying to design the interface to have a time line chart with four "rows" .
One of coarse for each of the duty status and when the user clicks a starting point(ex 915 am) it should draw a line from starting point (915am to) next click on the time line (ex1130 am) it also must be able to draw a line from one row to another.
I probably could have explained it better. If anyone has any questions about the requested design I would be glad to answer.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated

I am a college student majoring in programming and I have had the java class.
I am currently working on this project and am seeking help with the user interface. I plan to have the programs GUI represent that of a log page however after planning and research I am still unsure how to begin to get Java to draw the chart part of the interface If it is even possible in a windowed application
The following is some of the planning done so far. I know this is a swing app but I was using this to layout of the logic
Again this is just logic and not intended to be the program nor finished
Thanks agian
Code: Select allimport javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class LogBookSwing
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// declare and construct varibles
String stCity, dvrId, totalMiles, milesDriven, eCity, truckId, trlrId,stState, eState, origin, destination, bol;
double hrsWrkd, mDriven, hrsAva, totAvaHrs ;
// print prompts and get input
System.out.println("\t\tSue Wilson's Log Book");
dvrId = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please Enter Your Driver Id To Begin.");
stCity = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please Enter Your City of Origin.");
stState = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please Enter Your State of Origin.");
eCity = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please Enter The Intended Destination City.");
eState = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please Enter The Intended Destination State.");
truckId = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please Enter Truck Id.");
trlrId = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please Enter Trailer Id.");
milesDriven = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please Enter Total Miles DRIVEN By You.");
mDriven = Integer.parseInt(milesDriven);
totalMiles = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please Enter Total Miles Today.");
mDriven = Integer.parseInt(milesDriven);
// calculations uses max avg speed for truck divided by input miles driven
hrsWrkd = mDriven / 60;
hrsAva = 11 - hrsWrkd;
totAvaHrs = 70 - hrsAva;
origin = stCity + " " + stState;
destination = eCity + " " + eState;
//output
JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "You Will Be Departing From " + origin +" "+" In Truck " + truckId + " With Trailer "+ trlrId +" Bound For "+ destination +"." + " Correct ?");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hours Spent Driving " + hrsWrkd + "hrs.");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hours Currently Available " + hrsAva + "hrs.");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Total Hours Available Are " + totAvaHrs + "hrs.");
}
}
