Chart with horizontal line between points

[Durkin]

Hi. I'm trying to create a line graph that has horizontal lines between the points on the graph. I'll try to explain. The graph has the time along the x-axis (just one day 0:00 to 0:00). There will be a line on the graph showing a level of energy being used. At various points during the day requests will be made to increase or decrease the level of energy being used. I don't want the line between the points to map directly to each other because that would make it look as if the change was gradual. What I need is for the line to continue paralell to the x-axis until a change is made then to go straight up (perpendicular to the x-axis) to the new value and then continue on horizontally. Any ideas?

Why not use a histogram with no space between?

There are more than one line on the graph. I was trying to simplify the description. It is really a line graph. The only thing I can think of is to put two values in for the same time, one with the previous value and one with the new.
