Since you are not asking a specific coding-based question, I'm not going to provide a code-based answer, but rather the logic you will need to figure out in code.
1) Locate, validate and open the file.
2) Read the file line by line.
2a) Process each data line putting the values derived from there into appropriate variables.
3) Close the file
4) Apply the data now based in variables to your graphing object/algorithm.
5) Update your display.
6) That's it... You're done and you can go have a nice cold beer for a job well done.

Cheers...
