#Set data folders
basedir = 'D:/MyProgram/Distribution/java/MeteoInfo/MeteoInfo'
mapdir = os.path.join(basedir, 'map')
#Read shape files
bou2_layer = shaperead(os.path.join(mapdir, 'bou2_4p.shp'))
bou1_layer = shaperead(os.path.join(mapdir, 'bou1_4l.shp'))
river_layer = shaperead(os.path.join(mapdir, 'rivers.shp'))
city_layer = shaperead(os.path.join(mapdir, 'res1_4m.shp'))
