Generate size distribution of framboidal pyrite based on different growth mechanisms

Framboids_growth(Number_Framboids = 1000, Initialization = TRUE, framboids,
  Simulation = 1, Initial_Diameter = 0, Nanocrystals_Diameter = 0.1,
  Packing_Factor = 0.74078, Random_Limit = 1, Iterations = 3,
  MaxMeanDiameter = 20)

`Number_Framboids`	An integer indicanting the number of framboids to grow
`Initialization`	If TRUE the growth starts from empty framboids. If FALSE the growth continues from framboids
`framboids`	When Initialization=FALSE contains a framboids data_frame previously grown
`Simulation`	The growth mechanism to simulate. 1-4 surface-controlled, 5-6 supply-controlled, 1,3,5,6 size dependent, 2,4,7,8 size independent, 1,2,5,7 adding nanocrystals, 3,4,6,8 increasing diameter
`Initial_Diameter`	A number (in micrometers) representing the growth over preexistent spherical objects
`Nanocrystals_Diameter`	A number (in micrometers) with the diameter of nanocrystals forming framboids
`Packing_Factor`	A number from 0 to 1 representing the packing factor of nanocrystals
`Random_Limit`	A number from 0 to 1 representing the maximum value of random numbers in algorithm
`Iterations`	An integer value that controls the maximum number of iterations of the algorithm
`MaxMeanDiameter`	A number (in micrometers) controlling the maximum mean of the size distribution of framboids
