Data Structure (Name Surfer Assignment)

[ccie007]

Hi Folks,
I am doing this NameSurfer assignment of Stanford CS106A.I think I am almost there but stuck in one part.

How can I pass data from main program to another class?In this project main program gets user-input and it should be passed another class called myCanvas.java.I think i should create another class which get user-input from the main program and passes the user input to the myCanvas class, is that right?

By the way this program takes names of people and shows their ranks in the particular year in a linear graph.

If you look around the middle of the code of myCanvas.java and read my message in CAPITAL Letters(// THE MAIN QUESTION I AM STUCK AT ?
).You will understand my question.

Thank you in advance.

Here is the code of the main program called resized.java

//

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ComponentEvent;
import java.awt.event.ComponentListener;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

import acm.program.*;
import acm.util.ErrorException;
import acm.graphics.*;


 public class resized extends Program{
	 
	 
	 public void run(){
		 
		
/*These are Jbuttons and nameFiled where user can enter names*/

			nameField= new JTextField(10);
			
			
			add(new JLabel(" Name "),SOUTH);
			add(nameField,SOUTH);
			nameField.setActionCommand("name");
			nameField.addActionListener(this);
			
			Graph= new JButton("Graph");
			add(Graph,SOUTH);		
			Clear=new JButton("Clear");
			add(Clear,SOUTH);
			 canvas = new myCanvas();
			 
			 add(canvas);
			
			}
			
	 
		 
/*This incomplete at the moment */
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
				
				
				if(e.getActionCommand().equals("name")){
					
				
					
					
				
					
			  
				}
	
		 
			}
	
			
			
			private JTextField nameField;
			private JButton Graph;
			private JButton Clear;
			private GLabel name;
			private GLine line; 
			private GOval dotted;
			private myCanvas canvas;
		
 }

And here is the code of myCanvas.java which displays the name surfer graph:

import acm.graphics.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

import acm.program.*;
import acm.util.*;

import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;

import javax.swing.*;

import acm.graphics.*;
import java.awt.color.*;
import java.awt.*;

/*This class uses ComponentListener for resizing.Aim of the project is to 
create a name surfer program which resizes itself when the applet size is reduced or enlarged*/

public class myCanvas extends GCanvas implements ComponentListener{
	
	
	
	public myCanvas(){
		
	
		
		addComponentListener(this);
	
		displayGraph();
		
		
      
 		
 		}

/*This medthod diplays the name surfer linear graph*/
