Hi Thomas, Google's Line Chart can handle your line step requirements. It might not be as intuitive as you'd like, but can create the desired effect by specifying the XY coordinates for each part of the series where either the X or Y value changes. Here's an example ( http://tinyurl.com/bhybco ) and you'll want to refer to the Data Point Label section ( http://code.google.com/apis/chart/labels.html#data_point_labels ) for labeling the different step values.
Regarding labels, the API allows you to specify text to use as a marker for a data point ( http://code.google.com/apis/chart/styles.html#shape_markers ) and/or labels for data points ( http://code.google.com/apis/chart/labels.html#data_point_labels ). One of these may work for you, but if you *must* have the labels in the middle of the column I described a small hack/workaround to put labels in the middle: http://groups.google.com/group/google-chart-api/browse_thread/thread/74abc183c240e512 In addition (and probably a better solution) you can look into using Multiple Data Series ( http://code.google.com/apis/chart/formats.html#multiple_data_series ). A quote from that page: "You can also use multiple data series as invisible guides, to accurately place labels or markers on a chart."
