\describe{

\item[x = "FCS", colvar = "vector"] Adds colvar to the data portion of
the "FCS" object; colvar must agree in length with the row dimension
of the data matrix

\item[x = "FCS", colvar = "vector", shortname="", longname="", use.shortname=FALSE] Other unlisted options in the signature include:

(1) shortname : character string denoting the name of colvar;
default value is "".

(2) longname : character string denothing the long name of colvar;
default value is "".

(3) use.shortname : boolean; if TRUE then the shortname is
assigned to the column variable in the data, otherwise the longname is
used; default value is FALSE
}
