Examples

## load example data set
data(sample, envir = environment())

## sieve sample (in phi units)
sample_sieved <- prepare_Sieving(
  sample = sample,
  interval = c(5, 6))
                                 
## plot results
plot(density(
  x = sample$grainsize, 
  from = -1, 
  to = 11))
lines(density(
  x = sample_sieved$grainsize, 
  from = -1, 
  to = 11),
