Capability Summary	In WPS Spreadsheet on macOS, you can select a cell range, insert a line chart, choose a line chart subtype, and then move or resize the chart.	Microsoft Word supports adding charts to a document, including line charts, but the chart workflow is mainly positioned inside document authoring.	Google Docs supports adding charts and graphs, often through linked content from Google Sheets for collaborative document workflows.	Notion product information focuses on docs, wikis, projects, and databases, and does not present native line chart insertion as a core editing workflow.	Adobe Acrobat product information focuses on PDF viewing, editing, commenting, and conversion rather than spreadsheet-based line chart creation.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Create a line chart directly from spreadsheet data in the worksheet view. Distinct: Choose multiple line chart subtypes and adjust chart placement and size in the same workflow.	Compared with WPS: chart insertion is described for document layout, not as a spreadsheet-centered charting workflow.	Compared with WPS: chart use is more tied to online document collaboration and linked charts, while chart creation commonly depends on Google Sheets.	Compared with WPS: the official positioning is centered on collaboration and information organization, with less emphasis on line chart creation.	Compared with WPS: the official positioning is centered on PDF workflows rather than data chart editing.

Overall Conclusion
