Feature summary:
A step line chart is a type of line chart where data points are connected by horizontal and vertical line segments, creating a staircase-like appearance. Instead of drawing a straight line directly between two points, the chart moves horizontally from one point and then vertically to the next, emphasizing discrete changes rather than continuous transitions.
