I'd like to use the google charts API to create a step chart for my Rails application. Preferably using the annotated timeline Google has (since it has a nice wrapper plugin for rails):

http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/annotatedtimeline.html

However, there doesn't seem to be a way to create a step chart using the annotated timeline or any other chart in the Google API. I'm looking to make a plot like this:

If there is no way to do this with the google API, is there an alternative graphing library that can handle such a task?
