I have a .csv file with 2 columns. The first keeps timestamps and the second keeps temperature. I need to make a graph on this display https://forum.arduino.cc/t/qvga-2-2-inch-tft-spi-240x320-ili9341-is-not-working-solved/454914, https://www.instructables.com/Cheap-TFT-22-inch-Display-on-Arduino-ILI9340C-or-I/ where on y -axis it will depict the temperature.. on real-time (ok 5 sec - 10 sec delay is ok). I use Arduino MEGA 2560 R3. Any ideas?
- How does the CSV file get into the Mega: serial input, SD card?
- Will you perform any analysis on the data-set: average, high, low?
There are a number of options:

which may be applied depending on your ultimate data requirement.
Any display generally works with characters for display; thus a number would be converted to ASCII and the characters displayed beginning at some (X, Y) which is most often user specified along with the format desired (integer, floating.) Character strings are displayed at (X, Y) for some length (specified or free-form.)
For graphics, Adafruit has a good PDF:

Remember, the ILI9341 display is a graphic display and text is displayed by converting the character to a group of graphic pixels.

I find it beneficial to make notes for each project to help with on-screen positioning of display variables.
From an old project:
/*
Pin connections:
#define TFT_DC 12
#define TFT_CS 13
#define TFT_RST 14
the rest of the pins (MISO,MOSI,SCK) are the standard SPI pins of your mini.
