In addition, it looks like waterfall charts are sometimes used to show "floating columns" that span a range. This seems simliar to the standard "box and whisker" charts that SAS produces, for example with the BOXPLOT procedure.

Hi All,

Thanks for all the suggestions, I have already found a solution to my problem.

What I essentially want is something like this picture:

So I used gchart, set the background white and calculated the bottom bar and set it to white as well. In a way, I "cheated" to get my graph.

If any one of you have any better solutions, do let me know so that I can further improve my code.
