   # load disProg-object "ha" and convert to S4-class "sts"
   data("ha")
   shpfile <- system.file("shapes/berlin.shp",package="surveillance")
   ha.sts <- disProg2sts(ha, map=maptools::readShapePoly(shpfile,IDvar="SNAME"))
} else {
   data("ha.sts")
   # is almost identical to the above except that German umlauts
   # have been replaced in 'ha.sts@map@data$BEZIRK' for compatibility reasons
}

ha.sts
plot(ha.sts, type=observed ~ 1 | unit)
