From this site, I have learned how to draw fancy pie charts and bar charts.
However, I cannot find a simple way to draw a line chart like the google's. Below is the screenshot:
Is there a way to draw similar line chart in LaTeX?
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you want to do this? The use of patterns produces a result which might seem to be "too crowded", in my opinion.
The new style slice type pattern allows you to specify patterns, in a similar fashion in which you specify filling colors with slice type.

You mean something like this:
Above picture is obtained by:
\documentclass[border=3mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
title=Title,
width=7.8cm,
enlargelimits=0.15,
legend style={at={(0.5,-0.15)},
anchor=north,legend columns=-1},
ylabel={Pages},
bar width=7mm, y=4mm,
symbolic x coords={Firm 1, Firm 2, Firm 3, Firm 4, Firm 5},
xtick=data,
x tick label style={rotate=45,anchor=east},
nodes near coords align={vertical},
]
\addplot[ybar, nodes near coords, fill=black!10]
coordinates {(Firm 1,3) (Firm 2,7) (Firm 3,8) (Firm 4,13) (Firm 5,16)};
\addplot[draw=blue,ultra thick,smooth]
coordinates {(Firm 1,3) (Firm 2,7) (Firm 3,8) (Firm 4,13) (Firm 5,16)};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
From above MWE follows, that I for line add another \addplot and move definitions of plot types to the addplot.

May I suggest the paper Leyla and I wrote some time ago about inclusion of plots generated by outside programs in LaTeX? Here is it: http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb34-3/tb108veytsman.pdf
