NullPointerException when adding a column to JTable

I am writing a program that displays patient records when entering a practitioner number (FHIR HAPI), but that is besides the point. I want to display basic patient details, and then through a checkbox, allow the user to add an extra column to the JTable that displays their details.
This extra column should be able to be added and removed depending on the state of the checkbox. However, when I try to use my DefaultTableModel variable to perform the model.addColumn() method, I always get a NullPointer exception.
The very last method is the one creating issues. I also provided code to the other methods that are called. I have tried using various types of arrays (Object and String) for the values and even arraylists. You will also see that in my second piece of code for the method getAllPatientObservationValues() I performed a println to see if it goes into the method and it does not. Any help will be much appreciated.

Update: I saw that when I create my table I have a 2D array for the data set as one row 7 columns and thought that was the problem, but when I increased the size of it to say 8 or left it blank, then it still threw an error

It seems like you've forgotten to set the Operations object op to inOP.
This:
public GUIManager(Operations inOP)
{
setSize(1000, 650);
Should be this:
public GUIManager(Operations inOP)
{
op = inOP;
setSize(1000, 650);
I'm not sure what you were planning to do with inOP and op (deep copy of inOP?), but right now op is null. That's probably where your NullPointerException is coming from, in the line:
tblRightModel.addColumn("Cholesterol",op.getAllPatientObservationValues(code));

I did do some messing around, here:
logo = new ImageIcon("../img/logo.png");
deltaLogo = new JLabel(logo);
System.out.println("Height: " + logo.getIconHeight());
System.out.println("Width: " + logo.getIconWidth());
And the output of that was:
Height: -1
Width: -1
Which I do find odd, if that's a starting point.
SO, my question is: Does my setup with GridBagLayout affect the display of the of the JLabel image?

Using the website provided by #camickr, I was able to successfully render the image using their "createImageIcon" method.

Why is this wrong? Making 10 Components within 1 pane easily

Before i begin, i have this whole pane being opened as an action. I was wondering why if I run this program, it doesn't output 10 lines of equations, with text areas to the right of them. It outputs a window, with nothing inside.
(Program is being run in a different part of the code- this is a snippet.)
`
pane2.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints d = new GridBagConstraints(); //Creates New GBC
if (shouldFill)
{
//natural height, maximum width
d.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
}
if(multiTable >= 1 && multiTable <= 12)
{
for(int r = 1; r <= 10; r++)
{
int[] answer = {1};
JPanel[] prob = new JPanel[10];
JLabel[] probOutput = new JLabel[10];
JTextArea[] uAnswer = new JTextArea[10];
prob[r] = new JPanel();
rand1 = random1.nextInt(12)+1;
rand2 = random1.nextInt(2)+1;
answer[r] = multiTable * rand1;
if(rand2 == 1)
probType =( r+") "+multiTable+" x "+rand2);
if(rand2 == 2)
probType =( r+") "+rand2+" x "+multiTable);
probOutput[r] = new JLabel(probType);
d.gridx = 0;
d.gridy = r;
pane2.add(probOutput[r], d);
uAnswer[r] = new JTextArea();
d.gridx = 1;
d.gridy = r;
pane2.add(uAnswer[r], d);
}
frame2.add(pane2);
frame2.pack();
}
}`
Here is a link to a pastebin link for the full program (It's a school program I don't care for much, just need the grade.)

JTable sizing issue

I am having an issue with JTables
I know my code is a little hard to follow, it's also a little jumbled around because it's coming from a fairly big program. And yes I just learned about the java naming convention in which you don't start a variable with an uppercase letter.

I did just put this code here into eclipse and then took out all the radio buttons, and it sorta worked. Although I am not sure why

JTable can't returns proper Dimension or PreferredSize, there are three ways
table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(table.getPreferredSize()); but notice for small JTables with a few Rows and Columns too
to calculate desired size for (part) of Columns and (part) Rows too, then pass this Dimension in form table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(new Dimension(x, y));
override getPreferredSize for JScrollPane
then JFrame.pack(before JFrame.setVisible(true)) to calculate desired Size on the screen
JPanel has FlowLayout implemented in API, I'd to suggest to change to BorderLayout, then JScrollPane in CENTER area can fill whole (available) area and will be resizable with JFrame, not possible to resize JComponent (together with its container) layed by FlowLayout
have to call data.revalidate(), data.repaint() and Show.pack() as last code lines instead of (remove this code line) Show.setVisible(true);
rename Show to myFrame and show to myButton

What exactly does the setPreferredScrollableViewportSize do? Does it just force the table to always be that size? What is the whole pack thing?
The getPreferredScrollableViewportSize() method is defined in the Scrollable interface, discussed in Implementing a Scrolling-Savvy Client. Rather than setting the preferred size, you can override getPreferredScrollableViewportSize() to change the default. Making the height a multiple of getRowHeight() is illustrated here. More on preferred size may be found here. Conveniently, the pack() method "Causes this Window to be sized to fit the preferred size and layouts of its subcomponents."

Creating JToggleButtons With For

I want to create 100 JToggleButtons and do it with a for loop and save them in a link list. Then show them in grid bag layout.
ArrayList<JToggleButton> buttons = new ArrayList<JToggleButton>();
for(int i=0; i<100; i++){
buttons.add(new JToggleButton(""));// = new JToggleButton("");
GridBagConstraints gbc_ = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc_tglbtnNewToggleButton.fill = GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL;
gbc_tglbtnNewToggleButton.insets = new Insets(0, 0, 5, 5);
gbc_tglbtnNewToggleButton.gridx = i;
gbc_tglbtnNewToggleButton.gridy = j;
frame.getContentPane().add(tglbtnNewToggleButton, gbc_tglbtnNewToggleButton);
}
I tried something like that, but i can't.

You're not adding the created button to the content pane. And you create a constraint named gbc_, but never use it. Change the code to
gbc_tglbtnNewToggleButton.fill = GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL;
gbc_tglbtnNewToggleButton.insets = new Insets(0, 0, 5, 5);
gbc_tglbtnNewToggleButton.gridy = j;
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
JToggleButton button = new JToggleButton("");
buttons.add(button);
gbc_tglbtnNewToggleButton.gridx = i;
buttons.add(button, gbc_tglbtnNewToggleButton);
}
