Plot particle size distribution

Description

Function to plot a particle size distribution for number, mass, volume, surface area, emissions etc., in the standard format: pdf = dX / dlog(Dp) where X = N, M, V, ... [pdf = estimated probability density function.] In this case, the pdf is un-normalized so that one reads the physical quantity along the vertical axis instead of the probability density, as is the case for the usual pdf encountered in statistics.

Details

The plot is designed so that the area under each bin appears as the proportion of "mass" that that bin contributes to the overall "mass".

This function should just calculate the dX/dlogDp and call a more general plotting function, e.g., plot.log
