A step-line chart is a variation of a line chart that connects data points using only horizontal and vertical segments instead of diagonal lines. This style is ideal for visualizing data that changes at discrete intervals rather than continuously.
This sample creates a single-series step-line chart plotting monthly values from January through December with the step direction set to “backward.” In backward mode, each horizontal segment extends back from the current data point toward the previous one, meaning the value change appears at the start of each interval. The chart includes animation and a crosshair for interactive point tracking.
