[I'm CC-ing to r-devel, please post follow-ups there] What version of lattice are you using? Please use the latest one, in which histogram is an S3 generic, with only one argument, formula. The eventual solution to your problem may involve changing that, but the first question to ask is whether any other formula makes sense in your context (if not, I would rather keep one argument and dispatch on signature(formula = "FLQuant"). Disclaimer: I haven't actually had time to check out FLCore yet, I will as soon as I can.
