You need to add new data to 'data' variable and call the chart.draw() method again. See the DataTable docs or play a bit at http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization#line_chart

Example:

  // Add columns
  data.addColumn('string', 'Employee Name');
  data.addColumn('date', 'Start Date');

  // Add empty rows
  data.addRows(6);
  data.setCell(0, 0, 'Mike');
  data.setCell(0, 1, {v:new Date(2008,1,28), f:'February 28, 2008'});
  data.setCell(1, 0, 'Bob');
  data.setCell(1, 1, new Date(2007, 5, 1));
  data.setCell(2, 0, 'Alice');
  data.setCell(2, 1, new Date(2006, 7, 16));
  data.setCell(3, 0, 'Frank');
  data.setCell(3, 1, new Date(2007, 11, 28));
  data.setCell(4, 0, 'Floyd');
  data.setCell(4, 1, new Date(2005, 3, 13));
  data.setCell(5, 0, 'Fritz');
  data.setCell(5, 1, new Date(2007, 9, 2));
