## Methods to append flowFP fingerprints to a flowFPPlex

### Description

This method joins one or more `flowFP` objects into a `flowFPPlex`. Conceptually, each instance's fingerprint feature vector is extended. An error will occur if the sample names and the class names differ. If we imagine the fingerprints as a matrix where columns are features and the rows are instances, this method binds the columns onto the existing fingerprint matrix.

### Details

These methods append one or more fingerprints into a flowFPPlex.

### Methods

`append(x, values, after=length(x))`

`flowFPPlex` methods:

x = "flowFPPlex", values = "flowFP", after = length(x@fingerprints)

  Appends a fingerprint onto a flowFPPlex.

x = "flowFPPlex", values = "list", after = length(x@fingerprints)

  Appends a list of fingerprints to a flowFPPlex.

x = "flowFPPlex", values = "flowFPPlex", after = length(x@fingerprints)

  Combines two flowFPPlex-es into one.
