Sand Sieve Analysis
1. With this routine you can get the sand sieve analysis. Routine displays the computation of the particle-size distribution in different windows. Moreover, you can get the main parameters of statistics analysis: percentiles, mean, standard deviation, kurtosis, etc.
2. Inputs:
Instructions are on the code.
3. Outputs
Graphs of:
Histogram.
Frecuency Curve.
Cumulative Arithmetic Curve.
Cumulative Probability
Arithmetic Curve.

Semi-Log Curve.
Cumulative Probability
Logarithmic Curve.
D5, D10, D16, D25, D30, D50,
D60, D75, D84, D95.

Version Published Release Notes
1.75.0.0

When multiple samples are analyzed, a C-M diagram is plotted. Fix a bug related to the name function.
1.74.0.0

The results are exported a txt file.
All the routine was renewed, the phi scales was added to the plots, new parameters can be computed. The routine has the capability to one multiple samples.
Bug related with the names of the main and subfunction was fixed.
1.1.0.0

Now, the user only has to do, it's to create a variable with the name "Granulometria" and inside this variable. I fixed an enormous bugs.
1.0.0.0

Now,the routine enables to the user gives whatever value of density.
The routine displays a window in which the user can choose what kind of plot to want to see.
It is opened the range of values the user can load since Granulometria.txt.
