You've described a line chart. Line charts can use arbitrary labels as X
values, while an XY chart requires numeric values. In either type of chart,
the series formatting can be the same (e.g., XY charts with lines connecting
the points and Line charts with no lines). In this respect, the terminology
is confusing.
