## uncomment to use or use example data set just below
# ## load example data
# x <- read.LA950(file = "LA950.txt")

## read example data set
data(LA950)

# inspect imported data structure
str(LA950)

# plot grain-size distribution curve
plot(LA950, type = "l", log = "x")

# import all files in a folder and write data to a matrix
#   X <- numeric(0)
#   ID <- numeric(0)
#   files <- list.files()
#   for(i in 1:length(files)) {

#     X <- rbind(X, x$y)
#     ID <- c(ID, x$meta$ID)
#   }
#   colnames(X) <- x$x
