#' Lollipop charts
#'
#' The lollipop geom is used to create lollipop charts.
#'
#' Lollipop charts are the creation of Andy Cotgreave going back to 2011. They
#' are a combination of a thin segment, starting at with a dot at the top and are a
#' suitable alternative to or replacement for bar charts.
#'
#' Use the \code{horizontal} parameter to abate the need for \code{coord_flip()}
#' (see the \code{Arguments} section for details).

#' @inheritParams ggplot2::layer
#' @param na.rm If \code{FALSE} (the default), removes missing values with
#'    a warning.  If \code{TRUE} silently removes missing values.
#' @param ... other arguments passed on to \code{\link{layer}}. These are
#'   often aesthetics, used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like
#'   \code{color = "red"} or \code{size = 3}. They may also be parameters
#'   to the paired geom/stat.
#' @param horizontal \code{horizontal} is \code{FALSE} (the default), the function
#'   will draw the lollipops up from the X axis (i.e. it will set \code{xend}
#'   to \code{x} & \code{yend} to \code{0}). If \code{TRUE}, it wiill set
#'   \code{yend} to \code{y} & \code{xend} to \code{0}). Make sure you map the
#'   \code{x} & \code{y} aesthetics accordingly. This parameter helps avoid
#'   the need for \code{coord_flip()}.
#' @param point.size the size of the point
#' @param point.colour the colour of the point
