I could be wrong on this, but I would suggest going with
a DataSet as the data source for your grid.  Two of the three
possible data sources (ASCII file and database table) fit
very nicely into this scheme.  

Read your ASCII file into a TextDataFile and use it
to load a TableDataSet which you can bind to the 
grid control.

The third source -- creating the 2-d data in a grid control
or from the interactive chart -- can also be routed through
a TableDataSet.  Just programmatically create the dataset,
define the two columns, and add new rows for each pair of
data points.  Save it to either a text file via TextDataFile, 
or to the database.
