#' Dumbbell Chart
#'
#' Easily create a dumbbell chart
#'
#' @param data Dataset to use for the dumbbell chart
#' @param x \code{character} or \code{factor} column of \code{data}
#' @param y1 \code{numeric} column of \code{data} representing the dumbbell end
#' @param y2 \code{numeric} column of \code{data} representing the dumbbell start
#' @param line_size \code{numeric}. Line width
#' @param line_color \code{character}. Line color
#' @param point_size \code{numeric}. Point size
#' @param point_colors \code{numeric}. Point color
#' @param sort \code{logical}. Should the data be sorted by \code{y2} before
#'        plotting?
#' @param horizontal \code{logical}. Should the plot be displayed horizontally?
#' @param top_n \code{integer}. If a value for top_n is provided only the first
#'        \code{top_n} records will be displayed
#' @param legend \code{logical}. Should a legend be displayed?
#' @param legend_labels \code{character}. Custom labels to be displayed in the
#'        legend
#' @param limit Deprecated. use \code{top_n} instead.
#'
#' @return An object of class \code{ggplot}
